As 2025 draws to a close, cricket experienced one of the wildest years with streaks broken, heartbreaking emotions making weight and underdogs claiming big prizes. Amid those achievements, both international and franchise cricket produced some sensational moments and stats that all but raised the roofs. So as the year drops curtains, here is a look at five incredible stats from 2025 that raised eyebrows.
RCB win all nine away matches
9 out of 9 away matches won by RCB (including the Qualifier 1 and the final) without losing any of them during their victorious IPL 2025 campaign, the first such instance in 18 editions of the tournament. By achieving the rare feat, RCB would later win their maiden IPL title as they beat Punjab Kings in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
South Africa continue hot streak in 2025
10 consecutive Test wins for South Africa between August 2024 and July 2025, the third-longest streak in Tests after 16 for Australia (twice: October 1999 - February 2001; December 2005 - January 2008) and 11 for West Indies (March 1984 - December 1984). The highlight of this run was their WTC 2025 final victory over Australia at Lord's, under Temba Bavuma, who has now won 11 of his first 12 Tests as captain - the most for anyone.
