Teams to Watch in the Race to Finals
As IPL 2025 comes around again, some teams are performing well, while others need to tighten things up:
- Chennai Super Kings (CSK): CSK has shown consistency under their iconic captain. They will look to confirm their playoff qualification through the rescheduled matches.
- Mumbai Indians (MI): MI still have the quality batting and top-drawer bowlers to be an outright contender, but they have imperfections this season they will look to eradicate.
- Rajasthan Royals (RR): The Royals have been one of the real surprise packages this season, greatly encouraged by younger players stepping up and contributing.
- Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB): RCB are always crowd favourites and will need to make up ground to have any chance passing most of their remaining games to stay in the mix.

Key Players to Look Out For
Many stars will continue their sparkling form and recovery in phase two of IPL 2025:
- Virat Kohli (RCB): Virat completes his successful international season and returns intent on leading RCB to their first title.
- Shubman Gill (GT): Emerging as a star, Gill’s batting touch will be crucial for Gujarat Titans.
- MS Dhoni (CSK): This may be his last season and CSK ‘Thala’ will be under the microscope.
- Jos Buttler (GT): Buttler has the ability to strike at a level few possess – a game can change in a mere blink of time.
With these notable IPL 2025 star players both teams’ histories could become heavily dependent on who performs, which just may decide which player lifts the trophy on June 3.
