The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction saw teams spend tons of money on both seasoned players and promising newcomers. While big names dominated discussions, a few relatively overlooked players are quietly preparing to make a mega impact in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Have a look at five such players who could turn into surprise stars in IPL 2025.

1. Sandeep Sharma (Rajasthan Royals): Veteran pacer Sandeep Sharma continues to be a reliable force for Rajasthan Royals, who retained him for Rs 4 crore. Despite being out of the limelight, Sandeep consistently troubles batters with his swing and accuracy. His ability to perform under pressure makes him a crucial part of Rajasthan’s bowling attack this season.

2. Prasidh Krishna (Gujarat Titans): Returning from injury, Indian pacer Prasidh Krishna is set to lead Gujarat Titans' bowling attack after being purchased for Rs 9.50 crore. His recent three-wicket haul in BGT against Australia highlights his readiness for high-pressure matches. With his ability to deliver in death overs, Prasidh could be a game-changer for Titans.

3. Jacob Bethel (Royal Challengers Bangalore): Royal Challengers Bangalore invested Rs 2.60 crore in England's 21-year-old all-rounder Jacob Bethel, who is set to make his IPL debut this season. Known for his explosive batting, Bethel could bring the X-factor to RCB's lineup. His versatility might turn him into a match-winner in crucial situations.

4. Kwena Mphaka (Rajasthan Royals): Rajasthan Royals placed their faith in South Africa's 18-year-old fast bowler Kwena Mphaka, buying him for Rs 1.50 crore. Although his 2024 IPL stint with Mumbai Indians was modest, Mphaka's raw pace has been turning heads in international cricket. Expect this young talent to make a stronger impression in IPL 2025.

5. Allah Ghazanfar (Mumbai Indians): Mumbai Indians stunned many by acquiring 18-year-old Afghan spinner Allah Ghazanfar for Rs 4.80 crore. Already making waves in international cricket with his sharp turn and accuracy, Ghazanfar has the potential to be Mumbai's secret weapon and a standout performer in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
