In a league where consistency often plays second fiddle to explosiveness, a few batters have managed to make certain venues their personal hunting grounds. Scoring 1000 runs at one venue in the IPL isn't just about turning up, it is about scoring runs match after match consistently.
And when you do it faster than the rest, you make a huge name for yourself. Let’s dive into top 5 batters who have been the quickest to smash 1000 IPL runs at a single venue.
5. Suryakumar Yadav: 31 Innings At Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Suryakumar Yadav has made a name for himself with his jaw-dropping 360-degree strokeplay and there’s no better place where his talent has flourished than the Wankhede Stadium. In 31 innings, the Mumbai Indians batter brought up his 1000th IPL run at his home ground.
Suryakumar has scored over 3623 runs in 151 IPL matches, averaging 32.1 with an electrifying strike rate of 145.0. He has two centuries and 24 fifties under his belt and continues to dazzle with his inventive shot selection.
4. Shaun Marsh: 26 Innings At PCA Stadium, Mohali
In the early years of the IPL, few would have expected Shaun Marsh to be a trailblazer, but the Aussie left-hander became the league’s first Orange Cap winner and a pillar of Punjab’s batting. He reached 1000 runs at the PCA Stadium in Mohali in just 26 innings, an achievement that flew under the radar but deserves every bit of applause.
Marsh played 71 IPL matches and scored 2477 runs at a superb average of 39.95 and a strike rate of 132.74. He hit 1 century and 20 fifties, quietly anchoring the Kings XI Punjab middle order with his fluent strokeplay. Mohali, with its true bounce and wide square boundaries, suited Marsh’s classical style.
3. David Warner: 22 Innings At Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad
David Warner and Hyderabad was a match made in IPL heaven. The fiery Australian opener reached the 1000-run mark at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in just 22 innings, earning a podium finish in this elite list. For years, Warner was the heartbeat of the Sunrisers Hyderabad side, captaining them with grit and leading from the front with the bat.
In his overall IPL journey, Warner has amassed 6565 runs in 184 matches at an exceptional average of 40.5 and a strike rate of 139.8. He has scored 4 centuries and a staggering 62 half-centuries—making him one of the most consistent performers in the league's history.
2. Shubman Gill: 20 Innings At Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Shubman Gill has long been seen as the next big thing in Indian cricket and he is living up to that billing with every game. In just 20 innings, the Gujarat Titans skipper reached 1000 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, making him the second-fastest to do so at a single venue.
He achieved this milestone in Match 9 of IPL 2025, against a high-quality Mumbai Indians bowling attack. Gill’s overall IPL numbers reflect his steady rise to stardom—he has scored over 3249 runs in 104 matches, averaging 37.8 with a strike rate of 136.3. He already has 3 centuries and more than 20 fifties to his name.
1. Chris Gayle: 19 Innings At M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
If there is one man who made the Chinnaswamy Stadium feel like a video game, it is Chris Gayle. The RCB legend turned Bengaluru into his own personal playground as he bludgeoned bowlers to all parts of the ground with audacious ease. He became the fastest to reach 1000 IPL runs at a single venue, doing it in just 19 innings, a record that remains untouched.
Across his IPL career, Gayle scored 4965 runs in 142 matches at an average of 39.72 and a stunning strike rate of 149. He notched up 6 centuries and 31 half-centuries. When Gayle got going in Bengaluru, bowlers knew they were in for a long, painful evening.
