Of course, there's an ongoing fight for individual rewards hidden in the forest of team achievements, but shouldn't neglect the most amazing duels for Orange Cap where the stat leader changes after every round. The Indian Premier League is one of the most interesting cricket competitions in the world and the 2025 IPL season has brought us even more excitement than we expected. With plenty more left to play for, here is the news that hit the headlines in the past few days, followed by a few predictions of our own for the remainder of the season.
Rishabh Pant Believes Playoffs are Reachable for LSG
After a 37 run defeat in the hands of Punjab Kings not many people in the Lucknow Super Giants locker room thought about playoffs. One of those, while dissatisfied with the recent results, who believes that LSG can still reach the playoffs is Rishabh Pant. During the post match presentation Pant admitted that his team lost because they allowed too many runs before it was their turn to bat and they couldn't catch up. While the defeat in the hands of Punjab Kings was a hard one, Pant is not losing faith in his teammates. The team captain remains adamant that with the right string of results they can easily find themselves in the playoff race. Of course, Pant knows that in order to reach the playoffs LSG need to win their remaining three fixtures and that will not be an easy task. Yet, if they manage to snatch the win against the leading Royal Challengers Bengaluru, anything is possible.
Rain Kills SRH Playoff Hopes
What's sometimes so strange with cricket is that not everything is in the hands of batters and bowlers. Sometimes, a bigger force can decide the outcome of a match. This is what happened before the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs. Delhi Capitals duel at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday. Due to heavy and persistent rain the duel was cancelled giving the SRH a
Virat Kohli is one of the sport's biggest superstars at the moment but way back in 2008 he was just a rookie who was looking for guidance. When Kohli joined the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2008 some of the biggest names in Indian cricket were there and Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble were among them. Yet, neither left an impact on the young Kohli the way Mark Boucher of South Africa did. In one of the most recent interviews Kohli gave, he reminisced over the early days on RCB and the conversations he had with Boucher. During and after the first few training sessions Mark took Virat on the side and talked to him about his game, what were his weaknesses and how he could get better. All of this happened unprompted and left a deep impression on the young Virat Kohli. It was Boucher who pushed Kohlid to do better, train harder, and to improve the weak side of his game all in order to fulfil his potential and become a big name on the international stage. Looking at how Kohli today leads the IPL betting odds as far as the Orange cap race is concerned it appears that Mark Boucher did an amazing job with the young Kohli.
Rohit Sharma Set to Join Virat Kohli
Earlier in the year it appeared that the Capitals would reach the playoffs easily in the 2025 season of IPL. After starting the year with four wins, it appeared that only sky's the limit. Defeats in the hands of Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians were followed with wins vs. Lucknow SuperGiants and Rajasthan Royals and it seemed like Capitals learned how to bounce back.
Who Will Win The Indian Premier League 2025?
It is always ungrateful to make these predictions. One can't tell whether it is harder to make them before the season starts or when things get interesting as they are now. In any case, below you will find our Indian Premier League predictions as far as reaching the playoffs and winning the title goes.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
RCB is the most consistent team this year. They're playing like champions should and with eight wins and only three defeats they're topping the table. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are a team to beat and similarly to MI they are on a good streak with four consecutive wins. One of the best active players, Virat Kohli is on their roster and is having a nice season competing for the Orange Cap in the process, and the chances are that RCB will be biggest rivals to Mumbai Indians for the title. The bookies have them as the second best team in this race and the odds of 3.75 reflect this.
Gujarat Titans
As long as Shubman Gill plays up to the standards he set for himself and is delivering on the field Titans stand a chance. The bookies think the same and Titans' odds to win the 2025 IPL title are set at 5.5. At the moment, Gujarat Titans are occupying the last spot that leads to the playoffs with seven wins and three defeats. With their next match being against the Mumbai Indians they will have a chance to show the world what they're made of. In case they lose many people will have to start looking at Delhi Capitals as the dark horses to enter the playoffs on the brink of the last few rounds and with their odds being set at 17.00 they are a team worth monitoring and betting on.
