Not Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma or Varun Chakravarthy; Wasim Jaffer Predicts Orange And Purple Cap Winners For IPL 2025

IPL 2025: It is IPL time, and as expected, predictions are rife over who will win it and who will score the most number of runs. Ahead of the curtain-raiser in Kolkata's iconic Eden Gardens, former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer has predicted his choice of Orange and Purple cap winners. His two choices are a little surprising for sure.

Jaffer did not pick the big names for the Orange Cap, like the Virat Kohli or a Rohit Sharma - instead, he reckoned Sai Sudarshan would pick the Orange Cap. Even his choice for the Purple cap is rather strange. He did not pick any of the spinners, instead, he picked Arshdeep Singh for the Purple cap. Here is the viral tweet: 

Orange Cap, Purple Cap Prediction

Meanwhile, KKR get ready to host Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2025 curtain-raiser. 

Kolkata's Weather Forecast On March 22

According to Google Weather, there will be moderate rain in the early hours on March 22 but the rest of the day will stay cloudy. In the evening around 6 Pm to 10 Pm when the IPL 2025 opener will be played, there's a 40 per cent chance of rain which is not good.

On the eve of the IPL 2025 opener, covers were seen at Eden Gardens Stadium due to rain. Royal Challengers Bengaluru also failed to hold practice sessions due to light showers in Kolkata.

According to the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) Kolkata, thunderstorms with gusty wind, lightning, and light to moderate rainfall are likely to occur in the nearing districts of Kolkata, which might disrupt the weather in the 'City of Joy'.

Fans would be hoping that rain does not play spoilsport and it is the game that wins.
