The IPL 2025 season is off to an exciting start with revamped squads, strategic trades, and fresh talent taking center stage. Each team has worked on strengthening its lineup, but based on current form, squad depth, overseas balance, and all-rounder combinations, the teams can be ranked from strongest to weakest. Below is a team-wise analysis of the best possible XI each franchise can field this season — ranked from #10 to #1 — along with a structured table featuring their top batters, all-rounders, and bowlers. #10: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) The Lucknow Super Giants find themselves at the bottom of the rankings due to a lack of experienced overseas bowlers and dependable all-rounders.
