Bowlers are always going to play a big role in any form of cricket, and when it comes to T20, where taking wickets consistently is extremely important, giving bowlers a higher value is crucial. In the IPL 2025 mega auction, we saw the same reputation of bowlers fetching high prices, with many teams purchasing some of the finest bowlers. Teams like Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad, for example, retained superstars like Jasprit Bumrah and Pat Cummins, respectively. But overall, which team has the best bowlers in IPL 2025? Let’s look at three teams packed with the finest bowlers for the upcoming season.
Teams with best bowling line-up in IPL 2025
Mumbai Indians
In the last IPL, Jasprit Bumrah was the most reliable bowler for them. While every other bowler struggled, he stood out alone. Learning from past mistakes, the five-time champions invested heavily in their bowling attack, from purchasing Trent Boult to Deepak Chahar. Also, Hardik Pandya’s bowling is currently in form, showing MI’s big improvement in their bowling unit. If we consider Lizaad Williams, he adds depth to the lineup, completing the full package of bowlers. More Focusing on the pacers, there’s no doubt that MI has an impressive lineup of fast bowlers.
Kolkata Knight Riders
When you have strong bowlers like Anrich Nortje, Venkatesh Iyer, Mayank Markande, Umran Malik, Harshit Rana, and Sunil Narine, there are enough bowlers in the KKR camp who can work their magic against batters. The combination of spin and pace makes this team stronger than ever. Since the team has already won the IPL 2024 trophy, they will come with extra pressure. But with the players they have, they look solid for the upcoming IPL 2025.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
What more could you want when you have bowlers like Pat Cummins, Mohammed Shami, and Harshal Patel in the mix? SRH has all of them. They retained Pat Cummins, who completely transformed their style of play. Also, to play a supporting role in bowling, they have Nitesh Kumar Reddy, currently playing in Australia and performing consistently. He also has the ability to bowl a few overs and control the run flow. Although Shami’s age is a concern, as he may not bring the same momentum , but his experience remains invaluable, making him one of the most lethal bowlers in the IPL.
