Wisden’s IPL 2025 Team of the Season So Far
The 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season has been suspended indefinitely, leaving a lot of unanswered questions and a sense of uncertainty among fans and players alike. Despite the uncertainty, Wisden is proud to present its team of the season so far, featuring some of the standout performers from the tournament.
At the top of the order, we have Suryakumar Yadav, who has been the highest run-getter in the tournament so far, amassing 510 runs in 12 matches. Yadav’s incredible form has been a major factor in Mumbai Indians’ push for a playoff spot. His ability to play both spin and pace with ease has made him a nightmare for opposition bowlers.
In the middle order, we have the likes of Hardik Pandya and Shreyas Iyer, who have both been in excellent form. Pandya has been a revelation with the bat, scoring 340 runs in 10 matches, while Iyer has been the backbone of Delhi Capitals’ batting, scoring 320 runs in 12 matches.
The team’s bowling attack is led by Prasidh Krishna, the leading wicket-taker in the tournament so far, with 20 wickets in 12 matches. Krishna’s unique release point, which is a bit unusual for a fast bowler, has contributed to his success. He has been able to bowl with precision and accuracy, and his ability to swing the ball both ways has made him a threat to any batsman.
Another bowler who has made a significant impact is Trent Boult, who has picked up 12 wickets in the last four matches to help revive Mumbai Indians’ campaign. Boult’s ability to bowl with pace and accuracy has made him a valuable asset for his team, and his inclusion as the Impact Player in our team is well-deserved.
In the all-rounder’s spot, we have Shakib Al Hasan, who has been in excellent form with both bat and ball. He has scored 230 runs in 10 matches and has picked up 15 wickets, making him a vital cog in Kolkata Knight Riders’ team.
The wicket-keeper batsman spot is taken by Sanju Samson, who has been in excellent form with the bat, scoring 240 runs in 11 matches. Samson’s ability to play both spin and pace with ease has made him a valuable asset for his team, and his leadership skills have also been impressive.
Our team also features two spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravi Bishnoi, who have both been in excellent form. Ashwin has picked up 15 wickets in 12 matches, while Bishnoi has picked up 10 wickets in 11 matches. Both spinners have been able to bowl with precision and accuracy, and their ability to vary their pace and spin has made them a threat to any batsman.
Finally, we have Jasprit Bumrah, who has been in excellent form with the ball, picking up 10 wickets in 10 matches. Bumrah’s ability to bowl with pace and accuracy has made him a valuable asset for Mumbai Indians, and his ability to bowl yorkers at will has made him a nightmare for opposition batsmen.
