IPL 2025: Top 3 player combos to watch out for

Cricket is a team game, and one of the key factors of the sport is to work in tandem, which helps in delivering fruitful results and eventually win for the side. Be it Mohammad Kaif and Yuvraj Singh in Natwest Series final in 2002 or the Wasim Akram-Waqar Younis bowling pair for Pakistan in the 1990s decade, there have been numerous such partnerships that have become iconic for the spectacles that players did together.

With the IPL 2025 starting on Saturday, March 22, some similar pairs will be having a lot of attention from the cricket experts and fans alike. In 2024, the opening pair between Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head made eye-grabbing antics with their batting partnerships for Sunrisers Hyderabad, the runner-ups that year. With that said, let's discuss some key player combinations that can turn the game on their heads in the 2025 edition of the league.

3. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin (Chennai Super Kings)

Jadeja was among the five players retained by Chennai Super Kings before the team went to the table for the mega auction, where they picked Ravichandran Ashwin for a humble INR 9.75 crore sum. This marks the re-union of the Ashwin-Jadeja duo, which has won countless games not only for the franchise but for the Indian team as well over the years.

Playing for the CSK franchise, the duo has played 67 matches together, accumulating a whopping 110 wickets in the process at an average of 25.62. The spin twins have also been fairly economical with the ball for Chennai, giving runs at only 7.22 and a strike-rate of 21.4. Not to forget, both the all-rounders are equally capable with the bat as well, and their contributions could be the key to CSK's record-breaking sixth title.
