IPL All Team Squad. After the IPL 2025 auction, the picture of all the teams has become clear. In this auction, last year's champions Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings tried to retain the old players. Royal Challengers Bangalore could not make a team that could be called balanced even with a big purse. Mumbai Indians paid the most attention to their pace attack, while Sunrisers Hyderabad took special care of balance. Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants spent the most money in search of a captain. Let us see how the major teams look after bidding on 149 players in the IPL 2025 auction. The last round of bidding is still pending in the IPL auction. Due to this, the number of players in the team can increase now.
KKR: Left the veterans, but the team's face is the same First of all,
let's talk about Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), which is also the current champion of IPL. This team distanced itself from its old players like champion captain Shreyas Iyer, Mitchell Starc, Nitish Rana, Phil Salt, and Suyash Sharma. Despite this, KKR has re-joined at least 6 players who were with the team in IPL 2024. These include Venkatesh Iyer, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Vaibhav Arora, Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Allah Ghazanfar. In this way, when this team enters IPL 2025, half of its players from last year will be with it. However, it will also have to find a new captain. Kolkata Knight Riders Full Squad: Rinku Singh, Varun Chakraborty, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, Ramandeep Singh (all retained players), Venkatesh Iyer, Quinton de Kock, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Enrique Norkia, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Vaibhav Arora, Mayank Markande, Rovman Powell, Manish Pandey, Spencer Johnson, Lavnith Sisodia, Anukul Roy, Umran Malik.
CSK: Big bet on spinners
Chennai Super Kings once again expressed confidence in its old faces. It added Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra, who were part of the team last year, to its team again. Apart from this, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Sam Curran, who were part of CSK a few years ago, will also be seen with this team. The team made the biggest investment in Afghanistan's Noor Ahmed. The team bought him for Rs 10 crore. CSK retained 5 players including MS Dhoni, including Rituraj Gaikwad, and Ravindra Jadeja. However, this time Deepak Chahar will not be with CSK. Chennai Super Kings full squad: Rituraj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Shivam Dubey, Mathisha Pathirana, (all five retained players), Devon Conway, Rahul Tripathi, Rachin Ravindra, Ravichandran Ashwin, Khalil Ahmed, Noor Ahmed, Vijay Shankar, Sam Karen, Sheikh Rashid, Anshul Kamboj, Mukesh Chaudhary, Deepak Hooda, Gurjapanit Singh, Nathan Ellis, Jamie Overton, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Shreyas Gopal, Vansh Bedi, Andre Siddharth.
Mumbai Indians' pace attack is dangerous. The
Mumbai Indians team is going to enter IPL 2025 with a very dangerous pace attack. The team already has Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. MI included three excellent Trent Boult, Reece Topley, and Deepak Chahar in their team through auction. Apart from this, three spinners were also added in the form of Mitchell Santner, Allah Ghazanfa,r and Karn Sharma. Will Jacks will strengthen the team in batting? Mumbai had already retained Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav. In this way, Mumbai's team looks very strong. Mumbai Indians full squad: Jaspreet Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Tilak Verma, (all five retained players), Trent Boult, Naman Dheer, Robin Minj, Karn Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Deepak Chahar, Allah Ghazanfar, Will Jacks, Ashwini Kumar, Mitchell Santner, Reece Topley, Krishnan Srijit, Raj Angad Bawa, Satyanarayana Raju, Bevon Jacobs, Arjun Tendulkar.
Lack of 'X factor' in Bangalore's team
Royal Challengers Bangalore had retained only three players before the auction. It retained Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Yash Dayal. In this way, when it entered the auction, it had the highest amount after Punjab Kings. Despite this, it could not buy many players in the auction. It bid for 16 players in the IPL auction. In this way, its team now has 19 players and it now has only Rs 50 lakh left. Bangalore's team may have spent all its money in the auction, but its team lacks the 'X factor'. Apart from Virat Kohli, no player can be trusted to return from the field only after winning the match. Royal Challengers Bangalore full squad: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Yash Dayal (all three retained players), Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma, Jacob Bethell, Josh Hazlewood, Rasikh Dar, Suyash Sharma, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Swapnil Singh, Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Nuwan Tushara, Manoj Bhanage, Swastik Chikara.
