IPL 2025 Ranking the Best Indian Players for All 10 Teams
Mumbai Indians, the champion team in our best Indian players ranking for all 10 teams for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
It has not even been a week in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League, but we have already seen some of the best performances from the Indian players. Right from the likes of Dhruv Jurel, Krunal Pandya, and Sanju Samson to the young and emerging players like Vignesh Puthur, Vipraj Nigam, and Ashutosh Sharma, It has been an exhibition of exemplary batting and bowling from these players so far.
While the role of Overseas players is definitely important, it is the Indians that define this Indian Premier League. Each team needs those 8-10 Indian players that shape the way they play cricket throughout the tournament. Fortunately, there is an abundance of talent present in India, and that helps each team in building a solid Indian core. However, even after the abundance of talent present in the team, not all teams assemble quality Indian players in their side.
Some teams like Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Lucknow Super Giants are still dependent a lot on their Overseas players. But how are all teams stacked with respect to their Indian players? Well, let’s analyze the squad of all 10 teams, and look at those ten Indian names that will help us look at the ranking of each team with regards to their Indian players for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
