The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has come to an end and Team India came out as the champions. They defeated New Zealand in a thrilling encounter on Sunday at Dubai. It was a memorable tournament and India won the trophy after 12 years.

As the Champions Trophy comes to an end, all the eyes are now on the 18th season of IPL which will begin on 22nd March. The first fixture will take place between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Eden Gardens.

The participants from all the squads will now prepare for the elitist T20 cricket league in the world. IPL 2025 is coming back in action after some major changes in every aspect due to the mega auctions. There are some big names who will be making their presence while wearing a new jersey.

These players will definitely impact the winning odds for their respective teams on betting websites in India.

1) Rachin Ravindra - Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings were active during the IPL 2025 mega auction. They have shown their trust in New Zealand’s ace batter Rachin Ravindra for the upcoming season. He was released from the team before the auctions, but the team management bought him again for a price tag of INR 4 Crore. During the Champions Trophy, Rachin came out as the leading scorer in the tournament and helped New Zealand to reach the final game. His presence at the top order of the Chennai squad will be a major advantage for the team. As an all-rounder as well, Rachin can do wonders for Chennai Super Kings.

2) Varun Chakaravarthy - Kolkata Knight Riders

India’s comeback kid Varun Chakaravarthy has come out as a trump card for team India since his return in the team. He has been fabulous with his spin attack and has been effective on foreign pitches. Varun Chakaravrthy was retained by the Kolkata Knight Riders before the IPL 2025 mega auctions and the time has come for the franchise to receive the rewards of the trust. In the Champions Trophy, Varun came out as the 2nd highest wicket-taker for India.

3) Shreys Iyer - Punjab Kings

Shreyas Iyer, the former skipper of Kolkata Knight Riders who helped them to win the third trophy, will be leading Punjab Kings in IPL 2025. During the Champions Trophy, Shreyas Iyer became an unstoppable force at number 4. On multiple occasions, he helped India in a run-chase and gave a major push to the overall score while hitting risky shots. Shreyas Iyer became the 2nd highest run-scorer in the Champions Trophy tournament and he will be expected to continue his momentum in IPL as well.

4) Mitchell Santner - Mumbai Indians

It was an unfortunate ending for the New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner. He led the team from the front in every game and came out as the 4th highest wicket-taker in the Champions Trophy. Mitchell Santner will be seen playing for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. Mumbai Indians are looking for the 18th season as the franchise is expected to bounce back and reach the top spot after a debacle in the previous edition of IPL. Mitchel Santner will be a huge help in the middle order as an all-rounder.

IPL 2025 - Other Key Performers in ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Virat Kohli was India’s chase master during the Champions Trophy.

He was the orange cap winner in the previous edition of the league and will be expecting to continue the scoring momentum for Royal Challengers Bangalore this year.

On the bowling front, Mohammad Shami, who is part of Sunrisers Hyderabad, has shown positive signs since his return from the knee injury. He missed out on IPL 2024 due to the same reason but a fresh start will bring in positivity to Shami’s performance. He picked up 9 wickets in 5 matches at an economy of 5.68 in the Champions Trophy.
