With the IPL 2025 season around the corner, fans are buzzing about which young stars will rise to fame. Beyond the veterans like Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, the real excitement lies in discovering the next big breakout players. Whether you’re a fantasy league player or a passionate fan, here’s who you should keep an eye on.

IPL 2025 Players

1. Tilak Varma (Mumbai Indians)

Why he’s on our radar: After consistent domestic performances and a stellar IPL 2024, Tilak Varma is now a permanent middle-order threat. With his ability to play spin and pace equally well, he’s expected to be a match-winner in close games.

2. Riyan Parag (Rajasthan Royals)

Yes, the internet memes are loud, but his form in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy can’t be ignored. Riyan Parag’s power-hitting and part-time spin make him a valuable asset for the Royals this season.

3. Mayank Yadav (Lucknow Super Giants)

Known for clocking over 150 km/h, this young pacer from Delhi is a rising threat. In a format where death bowling wins matches, Mayank Yadav’s pace and bounce can disrupt even the best.

4. Sai Sudharsan (Gujarat Titans)

Sudharsan was quietly brilliant in IPL 2024. If he continues his form, expect him to become a permanent fixture in Gujarat’s top order.

5. Abhishek Sharma (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

With SRH rebuilding, Abhishek Sharma could be the surprise package. As an opener, he has the chance to face more balls — and make a big impact in the powerplay.

The IPL 2025 season will be a mix of legends and legends-in-the-making. While big names dominate headlines, these under-the-radar picks often decide matches. If you’re playing fantasy cricket or just want bragging rights among friends, keeping tabs on these young breakout players is a must.
