A mega auction was organized for IPL 2025. Where bets were placed on many big players. On the second day of the auction, all teams completed their squads. All the teams had some money left in their purses. During the auction, many teams were looking for captains, while some teams have already retained their captains. After the auction, the captaincy pictures have become clear for almost all the teams. In such a situation, let’s know which player will captain which team during IPL 2025.
Who will be the captain of IPL 2025?
Before the IPL auction, five out of 10 teams had retained their captain for the next season. The names of those teams include Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaekwad, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson and Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins, but the battle will still be in the hands of five other teams.
The names of these five teams include Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. These five teams were looking for a new captain during the auction. Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings have almost bought their captains. Lucknow Supergiants made a historic bid in the auction and bought Rishabh Pant for Rs 27 crore. He can captain LSG next season. At the same time, the Punjab Kings team also made a big bid and included champion captain Shreyas Iyer in their squad. Who can become the captain of his team in the next season.
Nothing is certain about these three teams
With three teams in IPL 2025, it would be premature to say anything about their captains. The names of these three teams include Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Any one of Akshar Patel, Faf du Plessis and KL Rahul can captain Delhi Capitals next season. While Kolkata Knight Riders currently have Venkatesh Iyer. It is believed that he can become the captain, but he has not captained a single IPL match yet. Finally, if we talk about RCB, apart from Virat Kohli they also have Rajat Patidar as an option. Along with this, he has also included England’s Phil Salt in the team. Who has captained England. In such a situation, these three teams will still be in confusion.
