Player Combos Expected to Shine in IPL 2025
1) Ravindra Jadeja & Ravichandran Ashwin - Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings will enjoy the reunion of their deadly spin duo Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin in the season of IPL. Both spin maestros of the Indian bowling attack have troubled some of the best batters in international cricket and they have come out as a key bowler in every situation.
Ravindra Jadeja has been part of Chennai Super Kings since 2018 and he has come out as the match-winner for the team on multiple occasions. Not only with the bowl, Jadeja has also been a valuable player for the team with the bat as a finisher.
Ravichandran Ashwin is coming back home after an absence of 9 years from Chennai Super Kings. He was released by Rajasthan Royals before the auctions and Chennai Super Kings signed the Indian spin legend during the auctions. It will be interesting to see Jadeja and Ashwin in action during the middle overs of every game.

2) Shubman Gill & Jos Buttler
A perfect top-order combination for Gujarat Titans - Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler. The combination of two stylish batters will be seen becoming a reality in IPL 2025. They will be expected to have a positive chemistry and turn out to be the highlight of every match prediction.
Shubman Gill be leading the Titans for the 2nd consecutive season. It was not a positive start for Gill as the new skipper for the team in the previous edition but he will be hoping to score the majority of the runs for the team.
Jos Buttler is coming to play for a new team. The former Rajasthan Royals might take his own time to settle in but he won’t be under pressure because Shubman Gill will be on the other end. The two might form a dominating partnership on multiple occasions in the league this year.
