As of now, the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League is in full flow. Like any other season, this season is extremely competitive too. All 10 participating teams seem to have an equal shot at the title. Only time will tell which teams qualify for the playoffs and which of the four end up emerging as winners of IPL 2025.

Over the years, the marquee T20 league has been witness to an extensive list of superstars and their spectacular performances. The prospect of assembling an XI out of all the top-performing players would make for an electrifying spectacle.

An entire XI of IPL's standout contributors would essentially result in a hypothetical situation of the team being an extremely difficult opponent to overcome. This would probably result in that particular franchise emerging as the winners of the competition a record number of times. Another consequence would be that the IPL would have an even greater influx of funds through brand endorsements and marketing.

Speaking of the team, it would probably end up garnering a whole lot of revenue through various streams like ticket sales, stadium revenue, proceeds through merchandise, etc. With an international star featuring from almost all cricket-playing nations, it would mean an enhanced global outreach of the franchise. This, in turn, would lead to substantial sponsors wanting to collaborate with the franchise.

It is impossible that a list such as this is made without one of the best batters in the world in the form of Virat Kohli, not being included, such has been his impact in the IPL. The leading run-scorer of the IPL has made the opening position his own, amassing 4411 (at a strike rate of 138.66) out of the 8063 runs he has scored (as of March 27). Kohli's ability to pierce the gaps makes him a priceless asset not just in the powerplay, but after it too.
