IPL 2025 performers who could make their debut in India before the T20 2026 World Cup

India should play at least 13 T20I games in the next 7 months.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 edition is over. And now, the objective of the Cricket Control Council in India (BCCI) would be the World Cup T20 2026. The Indian Cricket team will enter the tournament as a firm favorite. Not only because men in blue are the withdrawal champions but also because of the talented players available for the selection.
And after IPL 2025, the selectors will have a plethora of options to select. Team India is confirmed to play 13 T20I games against Bangladesh, Australia and South Africa in 2025. And because of the ODI and tests, some players could be rested, while others who were previously part of the T20i team could be abandoned.
Naturally, with the T20 2026 World Cup to come in 9 months, there will be tests. Here are 9 players who could make their debut in India T20i after successful performance in IPL 2025.
Samson & Pant have competition
No non -capped player has scored more points than Prabhsimran Singh in the history of IPL. And his 2025 season was incredible. He was the 8th top scorer and gave the Kings of Punjab (PBKS) to great departures, most often. He has not kept counters for pbks but is a professional ticket office.
Given how Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant played in IPL 2025, it would not be a shock if Prabhsimran made his debut against Bangladesh. He did well for Punjab in the Syed Mushtaq Ali (SMAT) trophy, but to reproduce this in the IPL means that he is the real deal.

Replacement of Rinku Singh
In the midst of Rinku Singh’s difficulties in recent months, a finishing place has been won. And right now, three players can replace it. They are Naman Dhir, Aniker Verma and Ashutosh Sharma. All have shown their destructive capacities in IPL 2025. In the case of aniker, it was even promoted to order and played as a medium -legged striker, but he showed skills to finish the game as well.

| Aniker Verma | 8 | 80 | 16 | 181.81 |
Vipraj Nigam & Shashank Singh
Shashank Singh is considered a finisher. But his statistics IPL 2025 present it as an appropriate striker rather than a striker. And although it has not spoken much, it can lower the practical average pace.
And Vipraj Nigam could have been the most impressive Indian versatile. His bowling alive a big but it was his power that shocked anyone. He can replace someone like Ravira Jadeja in the team. Vipraj is a defensive launcher like Jadeja but an upgrade with regard to the ability to strike.

| Shashank Singh | 17 | 350 | 50 | 153.50 | – | 13.50 |
Spinners & PowerPlay Bowler
Although Arshdeep Singh is there, you need another swing launcher. And no one left the ball more than Vaibhav Arora in IPL 2025. He even showed the ability to play in the middle and death. It can be a precious addition. Harpreet BRAR did not play much, but he was one of the best pbks when he gave a chance. A defensive bowling player, he can show his power on the striking or bowling bow.
And finally, it’s confident Digvesh Rathi. Delhi’s leggie has no problem taking the strikers or BCCI rules. It will hunt your counter and then celebrate. Despite being a defensive spinner, like Sunil Narine, he can take counters. And in Cricket T20, that’s what matters.
