Former India cricketers Sunil Gavaskar and Suresh Raina opened up for the race IPL 2025 Playoff -Team speed, the role of young Indian captains, and the major battle for the Orange Cap, analyzing how various teams are at the same time.
IPL 2025, which had to be stopped for a week after cross -border tension between India and Pakistan, resumed on 17 May with the struggle of Royal Challengers Bangalore with Kolkata Knight Riders at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Gavaskar reflected how the brake in the league can affect the team's rhythm and transfer the league dynamics, saying that the stops can assist teams like Delhi Capital or Punjab Kings in assessing their plans, it can also provide momentum for teams like Gujarat Titans and RCB.
“We have often lost a rhythm to a batsman after repeatedly spending time at the end of the striker, without facing more strikes-the short stagnation can affect the speed. Similarly, the tournament can slow down the recent brake teams that were on a winning line,” Gavaskar said in the Star Sports Press room.
“For sides like Delhi Capital, Mumbai Indians, or Punjab Kings, can help help and find out that the next 8–10 days will be very interesting. Initially, the league is like a marathon with 14 games.
Gavaskar's co-pan-panelist Suresh Raina agreed with his perspective, but supported RCB to re-start his campaign and go all the way to bring an elusive trophy with Virat Kohli.
“There are strong opportunities because Royal Challengers Bangalore are playing in a separate league this year. He has defended scores like 150 and 136 in Chinnaswami, and his bowling unit has stepped into. Virat can be the year to lift the trophy.
Raina also tight, touched the race to run to see Orange cap In this season, the current holder with only ten runs, separating Suryakumar Yadav (510), with Jose Butler (500 runs). Between Suryakumar and Butler are B Sai Reformson (509), Shubman Gill (508) and Virat Kohli (505), which are exposing the stressful battle for the top location.
“The difference in the run between the contenders of the Orange Cap is just two runs, eight runs and ten runs, and Suryakumar Yadav deserves a lot of praise. He is not a opener and the order comes a little less. Ever since Mahela Jayawardi gave him the position of number 3, the Mumbai batsmen showed very strong. The trophy also showed the trophy,” he concluded.
