Navjot Singh Sidhu picks his IPL 2025 Team of the Tournament, names Rohit Sharma as captain

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has come to an end, and fans are still reeling from the excitement and thrill of the tournament. Cricketer-turned-commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu has now added his two cents to the conversation by picking his IPL 2025 Team of the Tournament. In a recent video, Sidhu revealed his dream team, which features some of the biggest stars from the tournament.

Sidhu’s team is captained by none other than Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai Indians star who led his team to the playoffs. Rohit’s impressive form in the tournament, where he scored 546 runs at an average of 54.60, made him an obvious choice for the captaincy role.

However, what’s even more interesting is who Sidhu has chosen as Rohit’s opening partner. The former Indian cricketer has opted for Virat Kohli, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper, to share the new ball duties with Rohit. This partnership is sure to get fans excited, considering the wealth of experience and batting prowess both players bring to the table.

The middle order is stacked with talent, with Jos Buttler, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shreyas Iyer all featuring in Sidhu’s team. Buttler’s explosive batting and Yadav’s consistent run-scoring make them a formidable duo, while Iyer’s ability to play both attacking and defensive cricket adds depth to the lineup.

Nicholas Pooran, the Punjab Kings wicketkeeper-batsman, has been chosen as the team’s designated wicketkeeper. His impressive form in the tournament, where he scored 341 runs at an average of 34.10, was a major factor in his selection.

The bowling attack is equally strong, with Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Noor Ahmad, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, and Josh Hazlewood all making the cut. Hardik and Krunal bring a wealth of experience and all-round ability, while Noor Ahmad’s left-arm spin was a revelation in the tournament.

Bumrah and Krishna are two of the most feared fast bowlers in the world, and their ability to take wickets in clusters was a major factor in their selection. Hazlewood, the Australian pacer, rounds out the attack with his ability to swing the ball both ways.

Sidhu’s team is a true reflection of the talent on display in the IPL 2025, and it’s hard to argue with any of the selections. The team has a good balance of youth and experience, with a mix of batsmen and bowlers who can contribute in different ways.
