Okay cricket families, let’s level with each other. Every IPL season throws up that MVP story that has us jumping on WhatsApp groups across the world saying, “Bro, I called it!” Whether it’s a surprise package, a veteran having a summer of dreams, or the underdog completing a turn-around — guessing the MVP is still part fun, part bragging rights.
So, let’s deep-dive into the boldest MVP picks for IPL 2025.
Why Do We Love MVP Races?
Because, ultimately, we are all hoping to back a winner.
Like picking the fastest rickshaw in a traffic jam or deciding which street vendor to eat at based on who produces the crispiest golgappa — it’s thrilling.
When your guy kills it all summer, there’s nothing quite like that feeling.
MVPs also inspire all-around consistency, match-winner vibes, and the X-factor of “I cancelled dinner plans to watch him play.”
Our Bold MVP Picks for IPL 2025
1. Ruturaj Gaikwad – The Calm Assassin
Ruturaj has ice in his veins. All those effortless shots and that cool head? Reminds you of that friend who never flunks an exam and quietly bags an A+. With Chennai appointing him as their first-class assassin, don’t be surprised if he ends up with both: MVP and Orange Cap.
2. Jasprit Bumrah – The Yorker King Returns
Bumrah back at full speed is like giving Thanos his glove back.
The precision yorkers, cheeky slower balls, and death-over wizardry mean he could become the MVP not just for Mumbai Indians, but the entire league.
And hey — who doesn’t love cartwheeling stumps?
3. Nicholas Pooran – The West Indian Whirlwind
Pooran’s bat swings like he’s rotating Thor’s hammer.
If he gets going for Lucknow, we might see sixes raining faster than your phone notifications on your birthday.
Yes, he’s been hot and cold in the past… but maybe 2025 is when he hits nuclear.
4. Kuldeep Yadav – The Comeback Kid
We all love a good redemption story, right?
Kuldeep, with renewed self-belief and that magical wrist spin firing again, could become Delhi’s X-factor.
It’s like finding your perfect old hoodie — suddenly, it’s back in style and fits perfectly. That could be Kuldeep for Delhi’s attack.
Why Should You Care About MVP Picks?
Because it makes watching every match more fun.
Every time your player smashes a six or takes a screamer, you get to yell at the TV — “That’s my MVP pick!”
Think of it as fantasy cricket, but with way more bragging rights.
I remember one IPL season when I went all-in on Andre Russell. I told everyone pre-season he would be MVP… and he exploded that year. To this day, I still remind my friends of that legendary prediction at every IPL party.
