IPL 2025 Winner Prediction
Based on their performance so far in the tournament, we are leaning towards the Gujarat Titans lifting the IPL trophy in 2025. With 12 points from 8 matches, their consistent wins and strong net run rate make this IPL 2025 prediction solid. Sai Sudharsanâs 417 runs and Prasidh Krishnaâs 16 wickets drove their success. Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru trail, but GTâs form gives them the edge. Then again, IPL is unpredictable, and this is what the numbers say.Â
Orange Cap Prediction
Currently, the orange cap is adorned by the star batsman of the Gujarat Titans, Sai Sudarshan. With a run tally of 417, Sai Sudarshan is at the top of the table, and our IPL 2025 prediction says that it will remain the same until the end. His four half-centuries and an average of 52 runs with a strike rate showcase his consistency. Nicholas Pooran and Virat Kohli follow, but Sudharsanâs lead is strong.Â
Purple Cap IPL 2025 Prediction
Another Gujarat Titans player made the cut in our IPL 2025 Prediction. This time for Purple hat, Prasidh Krishna is poised to take it home at the end of the season. With 16 wickets at an average of 14.12, he is the frontrunner for the Purple Cap. Our prediction highlights his key role in GTâs bowling attack, ahead of Kuldeep Yadav.
