1. Virat Kohli: 973 runs in a season
It's hard to imagine someone scoring nearly 1,000 runs in just one season of IPL. However, Virat Kohli proved it's possible with his remarkable performance during the IPL 2016, scoring 973 runs. Although many players are known for power-hitting and scoring big runs, anyone will likely need to break Kohli's record for most runs in a single season.

2. Chris Gayle's 175*
In 2013, Gayle set a monumental record by scoring the highest individual score in IPL history. Playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Gayle smashed an unbeaten 175 runs off just 66 balls against Pune Warriors. This extraordinary feat will require someone with Gayle's immense talent and skill to break this record.

3. Amit Mishra's three hat-tricks
Amit Mishra holds an incredible record of achieving three hat-tricks during this period, in 2008, 2011, and 2013. Over 15 seasons of the IPL, only 18 bowlers have claimed a hat-trick, resulting in 21 hat-tricks. It's hard to imagine anyone surpassing Mishra's outstanding achievement.
