IPL 2025 - Top Overseas Players in the League

IPL 2025 - Top Overseas Players in the League

IPL 2025 has seen an unexpected halt in the league stage due to India and Pakistan's political issues. The situation became serious during the 58th fixture of the league stage between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals on Thursday. Things escalated quickly, and a blackout was imposed in Dharamshala and nearby areas.

The 18th season of the Indian Premier League is left with 16 matches, including 3 playoffs and a final game. BCCI and the IPL committee have ensured the safety of players, and the league is expected to resume in the coming week. The PBKS vs DC match, which was abandoned on Thursday, will be replayed at a new venue.

Before the league got suspended, Gujarat Titans were the table toppers after their win over Mumbai Indians on Tuesday. They are just one win away from confirming their space in the playoffs, and the Titans are left with 3 matches to play.

Their primary competitors are the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are at the 2nd spot in the league with 8 wins and 3 losses. Their net run rate is +0.482, and they have secured 16 points. Like the Titans, even the Royal Challengers Bangalore are just one win away from confirming their place in the playoffs.

In this article, we bring you a list which mentions the names of the top overseas performers in the league. Once IPL resumes, these overseas players will take the centre stage on trusted betting sites in India.

 

1) Noor Ahmad - Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings have gone through a nightmare in the ongoing season of IPL. They started their league season with a win, but couldn’t continue their momentum and have lost multiple games that have impacted their rhythm. However, in this process, they have found a consistent bowler, Noor Ahmad. The Afghan spinner is the 2nd highest wicket-taker in the league and the highest for Chennai Super Kings. He is one of the key reasons why teams find it difficult to score runs during the middle overs against the Chennai Super Kings. The 20-year-old ed the team from Gujarat Titans, and now a long run is expected from him in the yellow jersey.
