IPL 2025 Best Finishers Ranking for All 10 Teams Revealed

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the outlier in our ranking of the best finishers for all 10 teams for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. 

Finishers are a rare breed in T20 cricket. These are the most selfless cricketers as they often face the least number of balls, but the impact that is expected from these players is huge. Every team require those 3-4 players who donn the role of a finisher, and are expected to deliver for their team in crunch situations. Thankfully, the IPL 2025 is one tournament where you will see plenty of finishers in each team, with the impact player rule playing a huge role.

A finisher is someone who generally comes to bat around 14 over mark; hence, the batting position may not be that important, but in general, someone who bats from 5 to 7-8 may be termed as a finisher. Some of the best finishers that we will witness this season include the likes of Hardik Pandya for MI, Andre Russell for KKR, MS Dhoni for CSK, Axar Patel for DC, Heinrich Klaasen for SRH, etc. 

With so many quality finishers present in each team, which team has the best finishers for IPL 2025? Well, let’s analyze those 3 to 4 names in each team with regard to their finishing abilities, and find out the ranking of all 10 teams for their best finishers for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. 

IPL 2025 Best Finishers Ranking for All 10 Teams

#10: Gujarat Titans (GT) Best Finishers for IPL 2025

1. Sherfane Rutherford (f)
2. Rahul Tewatia
3. Shahrukh Khan

Starting with the Gujarat Titans team, their best finishers are Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia, and Sharukh Khan. Now, these aren’t the best names when we talk about finishing duties. While Rahul Tewatia has always played above the weight when it comes to finishing the matches, Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford are still unproven in the IPL. 

#9: Rajasthan Royals (RR) Best Finishers for IPL 2025

1. Dhruv Jurel
2. Shimron Hetmyer (f)
3. Shubham Dubey

For number 9, we have the Rajasthan Royals team, and there is a big gap when it comes to finishing in this team. Shimron Hetmyer is the only designated finisher in the team, and he himself isn’t in the greatest of touch currently. Other than Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel and Shubman Dubey will have to play the role of a finisher, and given the inexperience there, there could be some signs of trouble for the RR team. 

#8: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Best Finishers for IPL 2025

1. David Miller (f)
2. Ayush Badoni
3. Shahbaz Ahmed

For number 8, we have the LSG team, and the team has David Miller, Ayush Badoni, and Shahbaz Ahmed as the best finishers in the squad. As compared to RR, Miller is a far better option to have as a finisher than Hetymer. However, the likes of Ayush Badoni and Shabaz Ahmed are still unproven, and that will keep LSG to the number 8 position for the finishing duties. 

#7: Mumbai Indians (MI) Best Finishers List for IPL 2025

1. Hardik Pandya
2. Robin Minz
3. Naman Dhir

For number 7, we have the Mumbai Indians team, and the team has Hardik Pandya, Robin Minz, and Naman Dhir as their best finisher. MI are a slightly upgraded version of LSG, with Haridk being one of the best finishers, and Naman Dhir and Robin Minz emerging finishers in the squad. However, compared to the competition, MI could have done better for their team to assemble more quality finishers.

#6: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Best Finisher List for IPL 2025

1. Heinrich Klaasen (f)
2. Abhinav Manohar
3. Aniket Verma

Number 6 sees the Sunrisers Hyderabad team, and they are once again marginally better than MI when it comes to finishing duties. Heinrich Klaasen is a benchmark finisher, and would lead the finishing duties for any team. But similar to MI, the other two Abhinav Manohar and Aniket Verma, are emerging talents but lack IPL experience. 

#5: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Best Finishers List for IPL 2025

1. Deepak Hooda
2. Ravindra Jadeja
3. MS Dhoni
4. Sam Curran (f)

Number 5 belongs to the CSK team, and there are four quality finishers in the side. Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni are the team’s best finishers, and supporting them are Deepak Hooda and Sam Curran. Ideally, these aren’t the most dangerous names when it comes to finishing, but since CSK have four decent names, they can get the job done when required.

#4: Delhi Capitals (DC) Best Finisher List for IPL 2025

1. Axar Patel
2. Tristan Stubbs (f)
3. Ashutosh Sharma
4. Sameer Rizvi

Number 4 sees the Delhi Capitals team, and they have Axar Patel, Tristan Stubbs, Ashutosh Sharma, and Sameer Rizvi as the best finishers for IPL 2025. Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs are two solid finishers in the squad for Delhi Captials, and Ashutosh Sharma is one the best emerging finishers in the competition. With three solid names already there, Sameer Rizvi’s talent is like icing on the cake for the Delhi team. 

#3: Punjab Kings (PBKS) Best Finisher List for IPL 2025

1. Shashank Singh
2. Glenn Maxwell (f)
3. Marcus Stoinis (f)
4. Suryansh Shedge

For number 3, we have the PBKS team, and they have four finishers in their side for IPL 2025. While Maxwell and Stoinis are quality finishers in the side with tons of international experience, Shashank has already shown what he is capable of as a finisher. Meanwhile, Suryansh is a solid emerging prospect, and will be looking to make an impact for the PBKS team in this IPL. 

#2: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Best Finishers List for IPL 2025

1. Andre Russell (f)
2. Rinku Singh
3. Ramandeep Singh

At number 2, we have the KKR team with Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, and Ramandeep Singh as their best finishers for IPL 2025. All three finishers have played International cricket, and Russell and Rinku are already proven players in the IPL 2025. In addition, having someone like Ramandeep Singh at 7 or 8 gives great balance to the KKR team.

#1: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Best Finishers List for IPL 2025

1. Liam Livingstone (f)
2. Jitesh Sharma
3. Tim David (f)
4. Krunal Pandya

Finally, for the number 1 position, it could be slightly debatable, but we have the RCB team with Liam Livignstone, Jitesh Sharma, Tim David, and Krunal Pandya as the best finishers in the squad. All four finishers carry solid experience under their belt, and can take the game heads-on single-handedly with their performance. The only thing that is against them is their consistency. If they manage to be more consistent, RCB can go a long way in this competition. 

So, that’s about the ranking of the best finishers for all 10 teams for IPL 2025.
