Max Bryant has been turning heads in the Big Bash League with his fearless stroke play and ice-cool temperament in crunch moments. This Brisbane Heat youngster has shown he’s not just about big hits, he’s about winning games when the pressure cooker is on.

Known for his explosive middle-order batting and finishing skills, Bryant has emerged as the perfect answer for IPL teams struggling with their middle-order woes. The teams can think of bringing the youngster on board as a replacement for any of the injured stars.

Many franchises have their top orders stacked but lack that reliable finisher who can take games deep and end finish with a bang. Bryant’s recent exploits, including a stunning strike rate of over 200 in a recent knock against Sydney Thunder, have made him the talk of the town.

Let’s take a look at 3 IPL teams that could use Max Bryant’s firepower for the 2025 season.

1. Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings have built a solid squad on paper, but there’s a glaring gap in their middle order. With Shreyas Iyer, Prabhsimran Singh, Marcus Stoinis, and Glenn Maxwell, the top order looks like a million bucks. However, once the powerplay is done, the Kings seem to lose their sting in the middle overs.

Enter Max Bryant. The Brisbane Heat star could add muscle to PBKS’s lower-middle order. Slotting in at No. 5 or 6, Bryant could bring stability and, more importantly, the fireworks PBKS desperately need in the slog overs. He’s a player who doesn’t shy away from the big moments, and his aggression complements Maxwell’s all-round brilliance perfectly.

2. Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad have a balanced squad but are crying out for a finisher. With Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and Ishan Kishan forming a solid top and middle order, SRH have the foundation. What SRH really need is someone who can stick around till the end and smash those match-winning hits.

That’s where Max Bryant fits like a glove. The guy knows how to whack the big ones and keep his cool when the heat is on. Pair him up with Klaasen, and you’ve got a duo that can pile on huge scores or hunt down tricky chases. Bryant’s fearless batting and ability to adapt to any situation could be the magic ingredient SRH’s been missing.

3. Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB have the big guns: Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, and Rajat Patidar holding down the top order. But their middle order has often been their Achilles’ heel. While Liam Livingstone and Romario Shepherd offer depth, they haven’t been the consistent finishers RCB desperately need.

Max Bryant could be the answer to RCB’s prayers. His ability to go berserk in the death overs and his experience handling pressure in the Big Bash make him a perfect fit for the Bangalore outfit. He’s the kind of player who can turn a good total into a great one or chase down tricky targets with ice in his veins.
