The 2025 season of IPL will start from 22nd March 2025 with KKR vs RCB at Eden Gardens. This will be a 2 month tournament where 74 Matches will be played. There will be 10 teams that will be involved in this tournament. In the Betting market, a person can make a well informed decision if he has made a clear analysis of the players so that he can bet on those players. The players who are in form are the ones that will tend to do better. The pitch conditions will start throughout the tournament.
Let’s look at the players to watch out for in IPL 2025
Factors to consider when Betting on IPL Players
The current form of the players playing in the IPL is very important because those are the players that can be the safe bets. The Indian players do not play leagues around the world and play less domestic cricket therefore this parameter can only be used for the foreign players. IPL 2025 will be played in 13 venues and the pitches will be different at each venue therefore the players who can adapt quickly to the different pitch and conditions will fare better.
The players who are the captains will play every match and therefore they can be betted upon. The IPL is one of the most pressure laden tournaments in the world and the players who can absorb the pressure of the situation of the match or from the fans will consistently perform throughout the 2 months. The knockouts of the IPL are perhaps where the top players of the teams are expected to perform just like Mitchell Starc performed for KKR in IPL 2024. The players who will be betted upon should be injury free because if they are injured and unable to play then the bets placed will be of no use.
Top Batters to Watch Out For in IPL 2025
Virat Kohli is one of those players that should be a sure shot and safe bet. He is the most consistent batter in IPL cricket. He made over 740 runs in IPL 2024. Virat can anchor the innings as well as play at a strike rate of 150.
Shubman Gill is the best young batter in the world. He is ruling ODI Cricket and he made 890 runs in IPL 2023. He is the captain of Gujarat Titans. He is another safe bet.
SuryaKumar Yadav is the captain of the Indian T20I team. He is also one of the best players in the world in this format. Mumbai Indians will need him to do well and he is a safe bet and he can bat at a strike rate of 170+ plus from the start.
Jos Buttler is in the Gujarat Titans. He will be the opening batter with Shubman Gill. This alone makes Gujarat Titans one of the favourites. He will look to have another 600+ run season.
Top Bowlers to Watch Out For in IPL 2025
Jasprit Bumrah is the most safe bet that anybody can make in the IPL. He is the best bowler in the world by a margin in all 3 formats of the sport. He will make a comeback from injury but he will take 20+ wickets.
Mohammad Shami is yet another fast from India that is a Wicket taker. He is in form and he will have a great season with more than 25+ Wickets. Mohammad Shami is a safe bet.
Varun Chakravarthy is the Indian spinner that is in form. He has troubled the batters of the opposition. He will be a part of the defending champions KKR and will look to spearhead their attack. Varun Chakravarthy can take 25 Wickets in IPL 2025.
Trent Boult is back in Mumbai Indians. He will open the bowling with Jasprit Bumrah. He will be lethal with the new ball and take close to 20 Wickets. Trent Boult could be the best overseas bowler in IPL 2025.
All Rounders who Can Make a Difference
Andre Russell is one of the greatest all rounders in the history of the IPL. He always makes an impact whenever he plays. In 2024, he picked important wickets for KKR as well as bat at a strike rate of more than 180. He is one to watch out for.
Sunil Naraine is yet another all rounder from KKR that can make a difference. He is a 3 time MVP of the tournament. In 2024, he made more than 450 runs and took almost 20 wickets. Sunil Naraine will look to repeat this performance.
Hardik Pandya is the captain of Mumbai Indians. In 2025, he will have the support of the fans after he won the 2024 T20I World Cup. Hardik Pandya will look to score more than 400 runs and take more than 15 wickets.
Nitish Kumar Reddy had a breakout year in IPL 2024. He was so good that he got called up to the Indian team and has been a regular fixture. Nitish Kumar Reddy batted at a strike rate of more than 160 and he took wickets at regular intervals. He will want to have a better second season.
Emerging Players and Uncapped Players to Watch
Mayank Yadav is one of the best emerging Players to Watch Out For in IPL this season. He made a mark in IPL 2024 as he was bowling more than 150 km/h on a regular basis. He took wickets but he was injured mid season. He can have a breakout 2025 season and earn a call up to the Indian team.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is the youngest player to ever play in the IPL. Rajasthan Royals acquired his services at only 13 years old. He might not get a lot of matches but he will be the one that a lot of fans will be eager to see how they go.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi is in the KKR team. He had a good IPL last year. He made half centuries and he showed that he can play unconventional shots to hit fours and sixes. KKR bought him back at the auction and it looks like he could have a big season.
For the emerging Players, the Betting market needs to look at their domestic cricket stats. They also need to bet as a risk for once and then look at the performances throughout the IPL. Angkrish Raghuvanshi could be the best Emerging player of the IPL.
Betting Strategies for IPL 2025
The option for the Betting market is whether to bet on those players with high scores or the players who are in form. It could depend from person to person. An IPL match is one of the most unpredictable Betting areas. Live Betting involves shifts in momentum during the match and the market has to look carefully as to how the match is progressing.
Conclusion
Some of the top picks for the IPL season coming ahead are Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill in batting. Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Mohammed Shami are the bowling picks. Andre Russell, Sunil Naraine are the top all rounder picks and Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Angkrish Raghuvanshi are the uncapped players to watch out. Everyone is encouraged to bet responsibly.
