IPL 2025: Team bowling strengths ranked before the playoffs

The prestigious IPL 2025 (Indian Premier League) is set to resume on May 17 after a one-week suspension due to border disputes between India and Pakistan. Though all ten teams will be back in action, there might be some changes in the squads as some key players have decided not to return for the remainder of the tournament.

Though the game of T20 cricket is known to be a format dominated by batters, it does not take away the importance of the bowlers. It is time to discuss which team has the best and worst bowling attacks going into the business end of the tournament, and what could be their strengths and weaknesses in this crucial stage of the competition.

Out of the key players, there have been some in-form bowlers who will not feature in the global league. It will be interesting to see how the bowling attacks will look despite the absence of certain bowlers who had already played a major role before the suspension of the league.

Here are ratings of bowling squads of all IPL teams ahead of resumption of IPL 2025:

10. Chennai Super Kings (6/10)

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have struggled a lot this season, and one of the areas where they have failed to contribute the most is in the bowling department. Not only will they be without some vital bowling options in Jamie Overton, Nathan Ellis, and Sam Curran, but apart from Noor Ahmad, some of their key bowlers like Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, and Pathirana have shown a lack of consistency.

Hence, it is essential for these bowlers to find their bowling rhythm and collectively contribute towards the better cause of the CSK unit.
