Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has made his predictions for the IPL 2025 playoffs, notably excluding both Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) from his top four picks. Sehwag anticipates that Mumbai Indians (MI), SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH), Punjab Kings (PBKS), and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will secure the playoff spots this season.
Sehwag’s projections align with several other cricket experts who have also shared their playoff predictions:
- Adam Gilchrist: PBKS, MI, SRH, and Gujarat Titans
- Rohan Gavaskar: RCB, SRH, Delhi Capitals (DC), and MI
- Harsha Bhogle: SRH, MI, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and RCB
- Shaun Pollock: MI, CSK, SRH, and PBKS
- Manoj Tiwary: SRH, PBKS, GT, and KKR
- Simon Doull: CSK, KKR, SRH, and PBKS
Notably, while Sehwag has omitted RCB and CSK from his predictions, experts like Rohan Gavaskar and Harsha Bhogle have included RCB in their top four, and Shaun Pollock and Simon Doull have placed CSK in theirs.
