The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is just around the corner, and the teams are gearing up for the season. The T20 cricket fest in India has already begun, with the Women's Premier League (WPL 2025) entertaining fans, and the IPL 2025 is expected to be even more exciting. Several IPL franchises have started their training with some players in the form of a preparatory camp amidst the ongoing ICC mega cricket event, Champions Trophy 2025.
One of the most popular franchises, Rajasthan Royals (RR), has started their preparations with some young budding players who were bought during the IPL mega auctions. Notably, the auction was held in the Middle East for the first time in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. During the intense bidding battles, one of the most unique player battles stood out, which was the bidding for the youngest player bought in the league's history, Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Suryavanshi was spotted having an entertaining competition with 'Romi' sir with the bat and the ball, and the prize for the competition was a bat that belonged to none other than the former India captain and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend, MS Dhoni.
Meanwhile, defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have appointed Ajinkya Rahane as their new captain ahead of IPL 2025. Rahane succeeds Shreyas Iyer, who led KKR to their third IPL title last year before being released and subsequently bought by Punjab Kings for a record sum of INR 26.75 Crore. KKR's 23.75 Crore acquisition Venkatesh Iyer has been named Rahane's deputy. The development is quite a turnaround for the veteran Indian batter who initially found no takers in the auction following an underwhelming season with Chennai Super Kings (242 runs in 13 innings). Some of the key statistics for the players are:
- Vaibhav Suryavanshi: bought by Rajasthan Royals for INR 1.10 crore
- Ajinkya Rahane: bought by KKR for INR 1.50 crore
- Venkatesh Iyer: bought by KKR for INR 23.75 crore
The IPL 2025 season is expected to be highly competitive, with all teams looking to win the championship. The season will begin on March 22, with KKR taking on RCB in the season opener at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Fans are eagerly waiting for the season to start, and the teams are gearing up to put on a show. With the experience of players like Rahane and the youth of players like Suryavanshi, the IPL 2025 season is expected to be an exciting one.
The teams have been preparing well, and the players are looking forward to the season. The IPL 2025 season will be a great opportunity for the players to showcase their skills and for the teams to win the championship. With the start of the season just around the corner, fans are eagerly waiting to see their favorite teams and players in action. The IPL 2025 season is expected to be a highly competitive and exciting one, and fans will be treated to some great cricket.
