This season introduces fresh talent like Robin Minz, Suryansh Shedge, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, C Andre Siddarth, and Bevon Jacobs. Each player has demonstrated impressive skills in domestic cricket. Robin Minz will debut this season with the Mumbai Indians after a road accident delayed his start last year. The 22-year-old wicketkeeper-batter has a strong record, showing a T20 strike rate of 181. The Mumbai franchise secured him for Rs 65 lakh, double his base price. He has the potential to be a standout player. Suryansh Shedge, who played for Punjab Kings, rose to fame during the 2024 season. He scored a crucial 36 runs in a title match, leading his team to victory. Shedge averaged 43.66 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and is expected to make an impact in the IPL. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, at just 13, is the youngest IPL player ever, signed for Rs 1.1 crore by Rajasthan Royals. He has already broken records in junior cricket, including a century for India U-19. Despite his youth, his talent makes him an exciting prospect for this season. C Andre Siddarth, an 18-year-old all-rounder, impressed in the Ranji Trophy and has shown good performance in domestic matches. Yet to play in the IPL, he will look to showcase his abilities in T20 cricket. Bevon Jacobs, originally from Pretoria, South Africa, has also joined the Mumbai Indians. Though he has limited T20 experience, he has displayed explosive batting with a strike rate over 148. Signed for Rs 20 lakh, his speed and batting style could be beneficial for the team. The IPL 2025 promises to deliver exciting matches and showcase the potential of these rising stars in Indian cricket.
