The Bengal Pro T20 League 2025 began on June 11 and promises to deliver non-stop franchise action to cricket fans until its climax weeks later. Fans gather at the Eden Gardens, Mumbai every matchday for weeks of exciting white-ball cricket from top participating teams.
Scouts from the Indian Premier League (IPL) are sure to be in attendance as cricketers aim to impress for a chance to represent big-money franchises at IPL 2026. Let’s check out three (3) top players in the league who may be within the sights of IPL scouts and other cricketers that may have an outside chance.
1. Sayan Ghosh
Ghosh plays for the Kolkata Tigers and sees this season as an ultimate opportunity to secure an IPL contract. He is already 32 years of age and has found it difficult to hold onto previous IPL contracts (with the Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals).
Ghosh is obviously eyeing a comeback with his decent wicket-taking abilities (13 wickets) in just 7 games at the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2024/25.
2. Sudip Kumar Gharami
26-year-old Sudip Kumar Gharami shows great potential across formats, especially in First-Class cricket. He featured among top six run-scorers after the Bengal Pro T20 League 2024 and he continues to long for a chance to represent IPL franchises at the highest level.
3. Karan Lal
Arun Lal (former Team India and Bengal player) handed down his cricket prowess to Karan, and the batting prodigy is currently putting in his best for the Kolkata Tigers. Karan’s name will likely feature among top prospects slated to earn an IPL contract from next season.
