The Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) has been a rollercoaster with as many as seven teams still in contention for the playoffs. One of the most notable trends this season has been the flurry of injury replacements as franchises scramble to maintain their competitive edge.

Moreover The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) temporarily halted the tournament for a week due to geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan.

The teams will not be able to retain the temporary signings for the next season. Below is a detailed breakdown of the injury replacements and temporary signings for each IPL franchise.
