The IPL auctions might have got concluded but as the tournament comes closer, the excitement is only mounting. Franchises have got themselves new faces to build a strong team around their retained players. This IPL auction was all about young talents and hence some of the most talented youngsters got handsome pay cheques.
So, recognizing this young talent, we have crafted a team which we call the UNDER-25 IPL XI where all players are below 25 years of age. But this team can give any other team a run for its money. This is one handsome looking side with the best of the world talents.
Openers
KL Rahul
Quinton De Cock (wk)
It doesn’t get better than this. This is one opening pair with great potentials and if there is any other wicketkeeper-batsman after MS Dhoni then this team has him. KL Rahul and Quinton De Cock make an ideal opening pair for this team, don’t they?
Middle Order
One Down: Shubhman Gill
Two Down: Rishabh Pant
Three Down: Shreyas Iyer
Fourth Down: Nitish Rana
This is a perfect balance of explosion and sense. Rishabh Pant can blast the opposition any time and ruthlessly. Shubhman Gill, the man of the tournament from India U19 World Cup forms a perfect number 3 batsman for this team
All Rounders
Hardik Pandya (Captain)
The best all-rounder in this age bracket is Hardik Pandya. We also choose Hardik Pandya as the skipper of this team given his zeal and experience.

Bowlers
Rashid Khan
Yuzvendra Chahal
Jasprit Bumrah
Pat Cummins
Now, this makes a really rich bowling attack. Bumrah is about accuracy while Cummins is about express pace. The spin duo of Rashid Khan and Yuzvendra Chahal will make life really tough for the batsman.
So, do you agree with the fact that this team can decimate any other side?
