Betting on IPL 2025: The 5 Teams to Watch

The upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2025 promises to be a thrilling spectacle for cricket fans around the globe, featuring a mix of experience and new blood. With the championship just around the corner, here is a detailed look at the five teams experts believe will be the most competitive, based on recent reports and squad changes.

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians have historically been the Gold Standard of IPL excellence, with a record five titles — but not since 2021. Their consistency and strategic excellence make them a perennial contender. According to the recent betting odds, Mumbai have the best odds to win the 2025 title at 5.00.

Players to watch include captain Rohit Sharma, batsman Suryakumar Yadav, and bowler Jasprit Bumrah. All-rounder Hardik Pandya will also be an important squad member, giving them depth in both batting and bowling.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad have gradually earned a name for their strong bowling attack and never-give-up attitude. They have odds of 6.00 to be the winners in the 2025 season, making them strong contenders. Players to watch include New Zealand’s Kane Williamson, Rashid Khan, and leg-spinner Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

With a balanced squad, SRH would be looking to keep this momentum going into the season with the acquisitions made during the transfer window.

Chennai Super Kings

Another five-time IPL champion, Chennai Super Kings is synonymous with consistency and playing the long game. Their odds for the 2025 title sit them as the joint second favorites at 6.50.

Players to watch include legends MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ruturaj Gaikwad.

The Super Kings continue with their winning hands by having a mix of senior experienced players and new recruits.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders have boiled down to the basics since they last won in 2025 and have followed an impressive rebuilding strategy to emerge stronger after a disappointing season in 2025 when they finished last in the points table. Shreyas Iyer who went to the Punjab Kings, was replaced by veteran batter Ajinkya Rahane ahead of IPL 2024 and becomes the new captain, taking over the reins from Iyer.

Players to watch include the wise old fox of Indian test captaincy Ajinkya Rahane, all-rounder Andre Russell, and Sunil Narine.

Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans have made some additions to their squad in preparations for the upcoming season. Worth mentioning, they acquired England’s white-ball captain Jos Buttler for INR 157.5 million which is a massive statement of intent for competitors in the 2025 season. The Titans are outsiders for the IPL title, but you can never rule them out on this one.

Players to watch include Jos Buttler, Shubman Gill, and Rashid Khan.

With the start of IPL 2025 season, these are the 5 teams likely to go all the way and lift the title at the end of the season. Global cricket fans expect an action-packed season with fierce and unforgettable moments.
