Some pacers have already found their form before the tournament and are performing impressively in other leagues and tournaments.
Let’s take a look at four left arm fast bowlers who are in top form in franchise cricket ahead of IPL 2025.
Marco Jansen has been bought for INR 7 crore by the Punjab Kings in the IPL auction. Currently playing for Sunrisers Eastern Cape in SA20 2025, he has been in some mighty good form with both bat and ball.
With the ball, he has taken 15 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 15.80 and an economy of 6.40, while he has also chipped in with the bat with a total of 176 runs at an average of 25.14.
Lately, Marco Jansen has proven to be a utility asset for the teams he is playing for by his ability to contribute in all departments. He has been crucial in taking Sunrisers Eastern Cape into the playoffs of SA20 2025. In the upcoming season of IPL, he is going to play the same role for Punjab Kings.
Fazalhaq Farooqi was sold for INR 2 crore to Rajasthan Royals. Currently, he is playing in ILT20 for MI Emirates and has been in great form. So far, he has picked 19 wickets in 9 matches with an average of 13.94 and an economy of 7.68, which makes him the leading wicket taker of the tournament.
He has this great ability to take wickets in the powerplay. In the coming season of the IPL, he may have to start from the bench for Rajasthan Royals but this kind of performance is making a strong case for his promotion to the playing eleven.

Before this, Spencer also did well in the series against Pakistan, where he took eight wickets in three matches and was declared Player of the Series.
