The former India batter also picked the mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy to win the Purple Cap this season. When asked to predict the IPL 2025 winner, Virender Sehwag picked a team that is yet to win a title so far.
While speaking on Cricbuzz, Virender Sehwag was asked to predict the winners of the Orange Cap, Purple Cap, and MVP award for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League. He picked KL Rahul to win the Orange Cap and feels that he has the potential to be the MVP as well.
When asked about the highest wicket-taker, Sehwag picked Varun Chakravarthy to win the award for the Purple Cap. Chakravarthy has been in fine form with the ball lately and also had an exceptional year with KKR in IPL 2024.
Both Rahul and Chakravarthy played key roles in India's Champions Trophy wins recently. Rahul played valuable cameos down the order with the bat while Chakravarthy emerged as the second-highest wicket-taker of the tournament.
