IPL 2025 will likely begin from the third week of March: here are the latest injury updates from all ten participating sides, including the current status of injury and replacement updates.
The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League is expected to start in nearly a month after the Champions Trophy. According to a Cricbuzz report, the season will be played between March 22 and May 25, with defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders playing the opener against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Eden Gardens. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to release the official schedule in a few days.
While the mega-auction ahead of the 2025 edition saw franchises splurge record amounts to get their combinations right, several injury concerns to international stars ahead of the Champions Trophy have set a panic in the IPL camps.
If these players don't get fit in time, multiple franchises could be looking for replacements.
