Hobart Hurricanes won their first BBL title. It was the 23-year-old Mitchell Owen who played a key role in the win. He scored a century in the finals. For the youngster, had such a show happened around November, he could have earned an IPL contract. Here, we take a look at the list of two teams which would have been a perfect fit for Mitchell Owen in IPL 2025.
1) Lucknow Super Giants
Mitchell Marsh will be the main opener for LSG. The veteran Aussie is not in great form. He is also injury-prone. Hence, LSG has a problem here.
Owen can also bowl a bit of medium-pace. Hence, he would have been very suitable for this side. It needs to be noted that Justin Langer is the Head Coach of LSG.
2) Punjab Kings would have been a perfect fit for Mitchell Owen in IPL 2025
Punjab Kings is one of the teams which would have been a perfect fit for Mitchell Owen in IPL 2025. For PBKS, Josh Inglis is the only specialist overseas opener.
A backup would have been useful. Considering Ricky Ponting also holds a role at the Hobart Hurricanes, it would not be a surprise if we see Owen play for PBKS soon. Hence, Punjab is on the list.
