The second part of the IPL 2025 is starting again from today (May 17). The tournament stopped for some reason in the middle. Now starting again. But, some important players are not playing in this second part. Does this second part also give entertainment like the first half? Has become interesting.
There are no significant players – how did teams change?
Because of this break, some international players have gone to their country. Some teams have taken new players. Let us look at some examples of them now.
Delhi Capitals: Faf Duplessis is now available. Jake Fraser McGork dropped out. Mustafizur Rahman plays only three matches.
Punjab Kings: Kyle Jemison and Michelle Oven came to Locky Ferguson and Glen Maxwell. Marcus Stoinis and Ajmatullah Omar Jai returned to the squad.
Gujarat Titans: Jose Butler and Kagiso are up to the Rabada League Stage. Then they go to international matches. Kusal Mendis came as a replacement player.
Other Teams: Teams like Mumbai Indians and RCB have also made some changes.
IPL teams have allowed Temporary Replacement players. But they are not in IPL 2026.
Most South African players remain in IPL to the league stage. But before the playoffs, they go to the World Test Championship Final for their country. That is why players like Kagiso Rabada, Iden Markrum, Tristan Stubs and Marco Jansen are in the league matches, but not to playoffs.
What is Entertainment?
Batting Fire Power: Most of the big scores in the first half. But now the bowlers are doing well. The scores were a little shorter.
New Faces: New players, Indian Young Talent Performs a new entertainment.
Unexpected changes in Playoffs: Some teams should play playoffs without important players. That is why new players and new stories can come.
The end
While there are no star players, the IPL will never be reduced in entertainment. There will be new players and new twists. This second part also gives fans a new Experience. As usual, the thrill, surprise, entertainment in the IPL will continue!
