Kwena Maphaka Set To Shine For Rajasthan Royals In Ipl 2025

Kwena Maphaka may just be poised to be one of the big stars of the new season of the Indian Premier League IPL for the Rajasthan Royals.

The teenager had his first taste of IPL cricket last year when he made his debut for the Mumbai Indians at the age of 17. Though he made just two appearances where he picked up one wicket across his two matches, the learning experience would have been invaluable.

With all the international experience he had quickly gained, eight matches across all three formats, Maphaka returns to the IPL a much more mature cricketer .

'This will be my second season in the Indian Premier League. Obviously, I'm really excited,' Maphaka told SportsBoom.co.za in an exclusive interview.

'I'm coming off a pretty good summer, I'd say, playing some international cricket, playing the SA20.
