The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 started off with a bang on 22 March 2025 and has already witnessed a series of spine-chilling breakthroughs and comebacks. Although the IPL franchises picked up their squads at the TATA IPL 2025 mega auction, spending massive amounts, a few of the most dynamic and potential players did not get a chance to play for any of the IPL teams in the ongoing 2025 season.
Since a couple of players, including Ruturaj Gaikwad of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), have been ruled out of the IPL 2025 season due to injuries, the squads might pick up from the list of players who were benched at the IPL 2025 mega auction held in Jeddah in November 2024.
In this article we will take a look at the top four most promising and talented players who might prove to be the game-changers in the ongoing IPL 2025 season.
IPL 2025 : Top 4 Promising Players Who are Yet to Get an Opportunity This Season
Matthew Breetzke
The 26-year-old South African cricketer, Matthew Breetzke, is at the first spot in our list of the top four talented players who could be game-changers in the ongoing IPL 2025 season if given an opportunity to play in any of the ten IPL franchises. Matthew Breetzke is currently warming the bench at the Lucknow SuperGiants (LSG) franchise and was acquired for a whopping INR 75 Lakhs by the team at the 2025 TATA IPL auction.
Matthew Breetzke proved his batting excellence in his ODI debut for South Africa against New Zealand and became the first-ever to smash an iconic knock of 150 runs in his debut match. With an impressive strike rate and experienced innings, Matthew Breetzke might prove to be a gamechanger for the Lucknow SuperGiants (LSG) in the IPL 2025 season.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi
At the second spot in our list of the top four most promising and talented players who might prove to be the game-changers in the ongoing IPL 2025 season, we have the 14-year-old young cricket prodigy from Bihar, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who was acquired by the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at a staggering INR 1.10 crore as the youngest IPL player at the 2025 TATA IPL mega auction held in Jeddah in November 2024.
Although fans anticipated some thrilling innings from Vaibhav Suryavanshi, he was ultimately benched in the Rajasthan Royals (RR) squad for the ongoing IPL 2025. Well, since the current coach of RR, Rahul Dravid, has spoken highly of Vaibhav Suryavanshi in one of his recent interviews, he might be given an opportunity to play for the squad.
Madhav Tiwari
The 21-year-old Indian professional cricketer, Madhav Tiwari, is at the third spot in our list of the top four extremely talented players who could be the game-changers in the ongoing IPL 2025 season if given an opportunity to play. Madhav Tiwari was acquired by the Delhi Capitals (DC) franchise for a whopping INR 40 lakhs. Although the IPL 2025 season was supposed to be a fate-changing tournament for the young cricketer, he has failed to get any chances to play till now.
Since Madhav Tiwari had earlier played for the Bhopal Leopards in the Madhya Pradesh League (MPL), he undoubtedly holds strong experience of playing and dominating the opponent teams in the limited overs format and might prove to be a game-changer for the DC squad if given an opportunity to prove his caliber in the remaining IPL 2025 season.
Musheer Khan
Finally, at the fourth spot in our list of the top four most promising and talented players who might prove to be the gamechangers in the ongoing IPL 2025 season, we have the 20-year-old Indian professional cricketer Musheer Khan, who represented the 2024 Under-19 Cricket World Cup as a member of the Indian U-19 cricket team. Musheer Khan was acquired by the Punjab Kings (PBKS) squad for a whopping INR 30 lakhs for the ongoing IPL 2025 season.

As of now, Musheer Khan hasn’t received any chances to play in the IPL 2025 season and is still awaiting his chance to shine. Keeping in mind his spine-chilling record in domestic cricket, Musheer Khan could undoubtedly be the flag bearer of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) if given an opportunity to be at the crease.
