See all the quality names
Rishabh Pant
All set for IPL 2025, Pant will not be with Delhi Capitals this time, he is set for Lucknow Super Giants. A proven match-winner, Pant’s name alone is enough to grab the spotlight. If we talk about the IPL, where he has scored 3,284 runs in 11 seasons with an average of 35.31, it shows how consistently he has made runs in an aggressive manner. Even in the last IPL, he scored 446 runs in 13 matches and made a name for himself. Since he is expected to be a big name in the upcoming season, we can expect him to shine in IPL 2025.
Quinton de Kock
A seasoned wicketkeeper batter, Quinton de Kock is one of the most important names in the IPL. He showcased his brilliance for South Africa in internationals, and when he entered the IPL, his prolific record was enough to make his name big. With 107 matches and 3,157 runs, he has proven his skill and consistency. Having dethroned many competitors, he is now set to play for KKR and will look to continue his success in IPL 2025.
KL Rahul
After a mixed stint with Lucknow Super Giants, where KL Rahul was there from 2022 to 2024 and led the team to the playoffs twice, the team decided to let him go after a poor finish last season. Now, this superstar is set to play for Delhi Capitals, having improved his record in the IPL. What makes this player special is his flexibility, as he can bat down the order.
On top of that, every time he works, he does what the team needs from him. Apart from this, his wicketkeeping skills also come under the positive spotlight. His sharp reflexes and shrewd skills, whether helping the captain with DRS calls or handling small marquee tasks, make him a valuable asset. We have seen his performances in the past, and there is also a good chance that he may lead the DC, giving him a great opportunity to showcase his leadership in IPL 2025 and make a turnaround.
