He was the top run scorer in this year's BBL
Big Bash League (BBL) sensation Mitchell Owen has made a strong case once again to play in the upcoming season in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) as a replacement option.
Few players are already injured and uncertain for IPL 2025 and with the Champions Trophy 2025 still left to happen, there can be a possible opening for Owen if he continues to impress.
His latest conquest was in the ongoing One-Day Cup -Australia’s domestic 50-overs tournament.
Playing for Tasmania, the explosive opener blasted a quickfire 48 off just 19 balls, while hitting at a blistering rate of 252.63. His innings comprised four boundaries and as many maximums.
After his BBL heroics, Owen also played in the SA 2025, adding valuable T20 experience as he sets his sights on the IPL next.
