Based on current form, recent stats, and impact potential, here are the top three captain picks for fantasy team.
1. Abhishek Sharma (SRH)
Abhishek Sharma has been a consistent performer for SRH this season, contributing significantly with both bat and ball.
Over the last 8 matches in IPL 2025, Abhishek has scored 240 runs at an impressive strike rate of 183.20, making him one of the most explosive batters in the tournament.
Additionally, his handy bowling spells add value in fantasy leagues, making him a balanced captaincy option.
2. Heinrich Klaasen (SRH)
Heinrich Klaasen has been a key finisher for SRH, known for his aggressive batting style. In IPL 2025, he has accumulated 281 runs in 8 matches at an average of 40.14.
Klaasen’s knack for hitting big sixes and quick scoring in the final overs makes him a valuable captain pick, especially in a chase scenario.
His wicketkeeping skills also add to his fantasy points through catches and stumpings.
3. Ravindra Jadeja (CSK)
CSK’s star allrounder Ravindra Jadeja continues to be a vital asset for his team. Although his batting stats in IPL 2025 are modest compared to the others, Jadeja’s all-round contributions remain crucial. He scored fifty in the last match, which will also boost his form.
He has taken 5 wickets so far. Jadeja’s ability to contribute with both bat and ball, along with his sharp fielding, makes him a strong captaincy candidate, especially on the Chepauk pitch where he thrives.
