This IPL 2025 season isn’t limited to the well-known superstars. It also includes the new generation of Indian talent poised to light the stage on fire. The IPL produces match-winners that commentators compare to the next big thing each season. Additionally, several have shown to be the real deal in the past few seasons. Consider Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy. Young cricket players who steal the show with courageous batting, amazing spells, and game-changing performances are the league’s new heroes. It’s the same this year.
Here are the Top 5 rising talents of IPL 2025:
1. VAIBHAV SURYAVANSHI
Cricketing dreams come true as a 14-year-old gets a Rs 1.1 crore contract to play for the Rajasthan Royals, an IPL team. The youngest left-handed batsman in IPL history. Viabhav Suryavanshi, born in Bihar, has worked hard to live up to this hype. A scorching 71 runs while playing for Bihar in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, a 58-ball century against Australia in an Under-19, and 176 runs in the Asia U-19 tournament last year. Also, being the youngest Indian uncapped player to score the fastest century in IPL,i.e. 101 runs off 37 balls. Is he prepared to play for greater stakes now that the goal is clear? I guess yes!
2. PRABHSIMRAN SINGH
One player has been the only bright spot in a club that has struggled in the IPL. Prabhsimran Singh was among the first players to be retained by the Punjab Kings since he has continuously performed well. He was at his best in 2023, finishing the tournament with an incredible 150 S/R and smashing a century against the Delhi Capitals. It climbed to 156 in the 2024 IPL. The small opener averaged 83 in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, continuing his impressive play in the local circuit. The increasing trend indicates that the Patiala native may have a breakthrough season.
3. AYUSH BADONI
In a 2024 Delhi Premier League encounter, Badoni made news for the first time as he hit 19 sixes in a knock of 165 off 55 balls. His Ranji Trophy appearances have enhanced his image as a big-hitter, to the point where he is already being hailed as a potential leader for his team, Delhi. He was also his team’s leading scorer at the end of the 2024 Ranji Trophy season. Most of Badoni’s impact knocks come lower in the order. However, he has been moved up and down in his IPL team. Badoni may steal the show for the Super Giants in this IPL, with a strike rate of around 140 and an average of almost 30.
4. RAMANDEEP SINGH
A gun fielder, an aggressive batsman in the bottom order. Ramandeep Singh is the epitome of utility if you are looking for one. Ramandeep, a Chandigarh native, has risen quickly in Indian cricket thanks to an incredible IPL 2024 that has strengthened the Kolkata Knight Riders’ title challenge. Ramandeep enjoyed a respectable Emerging Asia Cup in addition to the IPL, with his 64 off 34 balls against Afghanistan serving as the tournament’s high point.
5. R. SAI KISHORE
Sai Kishore has played a key role in Tamil Nadu’s comeback in domestic cricket during the past two years. The Gujarat Titans perceive a lot of value in his presence, as evidenced by using the RTM to keep him after the Punjab Kings increased the pot to Rs 2 crore. The Gujarat Titans would gain a lot if the Tamil Nadu Ranji team’s skipper could replicate his valiant performance from the local leagues the previous season. Sai is one of the few tall left-arm tweakers competing in the IPL, standing at an astounding 6’3″.
