Sai Sudharsan: The Orange Cap Winner (GT)
Gujarat Titans’ young star Sai Sudharsan continued his meteoric rise, surpassing even his own captain, Shubman Gill, with an extraordinary season. Scoring 759 runs in 15 innings at an impressive average of 54.21 and a strike rate of 156.17, Sudharsan smashed one century and six half-centuries, cementing his place among the elite T20 batters. His consistency and ability to anchor the innings made him one of Gujarat’s most valuable players.
Virat Kohli: The Evergreen Run Machine (RCB)
Virat Kohli, an undisputed legend of the game, yet again proved his class by surpassing the 600-run mark in an IPL season for the third time. Amassing 657 runs at an average of 59.72 and a strike rate of 145.03, Kohli recorded eight half-centuries, each contributing to RCB’s victories. His leadership and temperament played a key role in his team’s strong campaign.
Shubman Gill: The Prince (GT)
India’s newest Test skipper, Shubman Gill, had a brilliant run in the Tata IPL 2025. He was neck and neck with his opening partner, Sai Sudharsan, before the left-hander raced away to finish with the most runs in the tournament. Gill was instrumental, along with Sudharsan, in GT’s batting unit. The right-hander ended his fabulous season with 650 runs from 15 innings at an average of 50 and a scintillating strike rate of 155.87.
Suryakumar Yadav: The MVP of IPL 2025 (MI)
Mumbai Indians’ vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav redefined consistency, setting an unparalleled world record for the most consecutive 25+ scores in the history of IPL. Crossing the 25-run mark in all 15 matches, he ended the season with 717 runs, an astonishing average of 65.18, and a strike rate of 167.71. His ability to accelerate at will made him the Most Valuable Player of the Tournament.
Shreyas Iyer (C): Leading From the Front (PBKS)
Despite falling short in the IPL 2025 final, Shreyas Iyer led Punjab Kings (PBKS) to the summit, becoming the first captain to take three different teams to an IPL final. His stellar campaign saw him score 604 runs in 17 matches, maintaining an average of 50.33 with a strike rate of 175.05. His leadership and adaptability made him a crucial pillar of his team, and he is the perfect candidate to lead our IPL 2025 team of the tournament.
Jitesh Sharma (WK): The Game-Changer Behind the Stumps (RCB)
Jitesh Sharma showcased his ability as one of the best wicketkeeper-batters and an explosive lower-order finisher. The RCB star ended IPL 2025 with 261 runs in 15 innings at a stunning strike rate of 178.76. He delivered one of the most memorable knocks of the season against LSG on his way to an unbeaten 85 from 33 balls, which secured RCB’s top-two finish.
Shashank Singh: The Silent Performer (PBKS)
PBKS’ Shashank Singh was a silent performer throughout the season. The right-hander from Chhattisgarh justified his Rs. 5.5 crore retention, proving to be one of the most consistent lower-order batters of the season. Scoring 328 runs in 14 innings at a strike rate of 143.77, his 30-ball 61 went in vain, yet he remained one of the most dependable batters for Punjab Kings.
Noor Ahmad: Spin Wizard of Chennai (CSK)
Noor Ahmad was the only shining star in CSK’s gloomy season, where they finished last for the first time in IPL history. Noor finished as the second-highest wicket-taker, scalping 24 wickets in his debut IPL season for CSK and maintained an economy rate of 8.16. His variations and control troubled even the best batters in the league.
Jasprit Bumrah: The Pace Maestro (MI)
Jasprit Bumrah, arguably the best Indian pacer, once again delivered a masterful bowling performance. Despite missing the first four matches, Bumrah still bagged 18 wickets in 12 matches, with an economy rate of just 6.67. His ability to contain the flow of runs at crucial junctures set him apart from other pacers, not only in the league but globally.
Prasidh Krishna: The Purple Cap Winner (GT)
After missing two seasons due to injury, Prasidh Krishna made a stunning return, justifying the Gujarat Titans’ Rs. 9.5 crore purchase. His fiery spells earned him the Purple Cap, finishing as the top wicket-taker with 25 scalps in 15 matches. His bowling carried GT’s attack throughout the IPL 2025.
Josh Hazlewood: Precision and Accuracy (RCB)
The tall Aussie emerged as the lynchpin of RCB’s bowling attack. He was the leader of the attack along with the experienced Bhuvmeshwar Kumar. Hazlewood’s lengths were impeccable throughout the season, and he was consistently troubling batters at will. The Aussie right-arm pacer finished his season as the leading wicket-taker for RCB with 22 wickets from just 12 games at an impressive economy of 8.77.
Sai Kishore (Impact Sub): The Game-Changer (GT)
Finally getting a regular spot, Sai Kishore capitalized on his chances, securing 19 wickets in 15 matches. His precise left-arm spin played a vital role in the Gujarat Titans’ success, making him a valuable impact substitute. GT missed a trick by underusing him throughout the season otherwise, things could have been a bit different for the Titans.
All these players had a memorable Tata IPL 2025. They ensured that determination and skills should go hand-in-hand for ultimate success. We hope you all could relate to our IPL 2025 team of the tournament.
