Once the IPL 2025 mega auction is over, the teams of the 10 franchises are ready. While most eyes were on players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer, who broke all the old records of expensive players, there were also some players whom every team has given themselves an advantage by buying at low prices. The team is ready but now everyone is trying to find out which playing eleven of the team can be the strongest and which one has the potential to win the IPL title in the upcoming season. The eleven that has been prepared after hard work seems to indicate that only the most successful teams from last season are still strong.
Who is strong and who is weak?
The probable 11th player of IPL 2024 winner Kolkata Knight Riders and runners-up Sunrisers Hyderabad still looks ahead of the rest. At the same time, the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings also bought those players who can guarantee them winning all 7 matches at their home stadium, Chepauk. If we talk about the worst, then in this case Rishabh Pant’s Lucknow Super Giants team, who became the most expensive player, seems to be winning, while the other teams also seem weak on some fronts.
