So far, IPL 2025 has proved to be a boon for seven players. The boon is because the wait for all of them is over this season. This wait is related to becoming the hero of his match. Here we are talking about those 7 players who are big names, have been in the IPL continuously, but they were not able to do anything for the last few years, due to which they should be given the Player of the Match award. But, this time the wait for them all about the award is over.
Which 7 players are waiting for?
Now the question is, who are those 7 players? So let me tell you that there are one of them, whose lucky number, whose jersey number is also 7.

In these seven players, after how many years, the Player of the Match Award, let’s know. Karn Sharma, playing from Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025, has received the Player of the Match award after 8 years. Meaning he won the last player of the match at IPL 2017.
