Every IPL season brings with it a fresh wave of young talent eager to grab the spotlight. Some rise to instant fame, while others quietly build their reputations before breaking through. IPL 2025 is no different, with a handful of uncapped players ready to make their mark on cricket’s grandest T20 stage. From teenage sensations to hard-hitting finishers and wily spinners, these are the players you need to keep an eye on this season. Robin Minz: A Comeback in the Making The 22-year-old Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batter was initially picked by Gujarat Titans, but fate had other plans. This year, Mumbai Indians have given him a fresh start, securing him for ₹65 lakh—more than double his base price. Minz is known for his explosive batting, boasting a jaw-dropping T20 strike rate of 181. Though his experience is limited to just six innings, his six-hitting prowess has already turned heads. If he finds his rhythm in the IPL, expect fireworks every time he walks out to bat. Suryansh Shedge: The All-Rounder With a Finisher’s Touch The dynamic all-rounder became a household name after his stunning Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final performance last season. With Mumbai reeling at 129/5 in a 175-run chase, Shedge turned the game on its head with a blistering 36* off just 15 balls, smashing three fours and four sixes. With a strike rate of 251.92 in the tournament, Shedge is the kind of player who thrives under pressure. Add to that his eight wickets at an average of 23, and you have a genuine game-changer. Punjab Kings snapped him up at his base price of ₹30 lakh, and they might have just found themselves an absolute steal. Vaibhav Suryavanshi: The 13-Year-Old Prodigy IPL history was rewritten last year when Rajasthan Royals shocked everyone by signing 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi for ₹1.1 crore. The Bihar-born wonder kid made his first-class debut for his state at just 12 years and 284 days, smashing age records along the way. Last year, he announced himself in international youth cricket with a breathtaking 58-ball century for India U-19 against Australia U-19. He also impressed in the ACC U-19 Asia Cup, finishing as the seventh-highest run-getter. Still at the very beginning of his career, Suryavanshi is raw, unpredictable, and absolutely fearless. Rajasthan Royals have gambled on potential—will it pay off? The cricketing world waits in anticipation. Priyansh Arya: The Six-Hitting Machine Punjab Kings went all out to secure the Delhi opener for ₹3.8 crore, and it’s easy to see why. Arya was a sensation in the inaugural Delhi Premier League (DPL), amassing 608 runs in ten innings and, most memorably, smashing six sixes in an over. That one insane feat turned him into an instant star. Despite going unsold in the IPL 2024 auction, Arya came back stronger, proving his worth in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He finished as Delhi’s leading run-getter with 222 runs at a strike rate of 166.91. Now, with Punjab Kings putting their faith in him, Arya has the perfect stage to translate his domestic heroics into IPL dominance. Vipraj Nigam: A Leg-Spin Sensation in the Making Nigam’s rise has been rapid, with his standout performances in the UPT20 League grabbing headlines. Playing for the Lucknow Falcons, he picked up 20 wickets in 11 innings, maintaining an economy of just 7.45. His ability to bowl with serious airspeed and extract turn even on flatter pitches makes him a lethal option in the middle overs. In a crucial Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match, he smashed an unbeaten 27 off just eight balls, proving he’s no mug with the bat. Delhi Capitals saw the potential and picked him up in the auction—now, it’s time for him to weave his magic in the IPL.
