IPL 2025 Five Teams Captain Change Might Possible: Big changes are expected in many teams in IPL 2025. A mega auction is to be held before the IPL to be held in 2025, in which it is almost certain that players will move from one team to another. Apart from this, the captains of many teams may also be seen changing. Like Shubman Gill may lose the command of Gujarat Titans (GT). Apart from this, Shreyas Iyer, who won the IPL 2024 title, can also lose the command of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). We will tell you about 5 such teams whose captains can change.
1. Gujarat Titans (Shubman Gill)
Shubman Gill took over the command of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024. Gill was given this responsibility after Hardik Pandya. However, Gill could not make much impact in terms of captaincy. Under his captaincy, the team could not qualify for the playoffs. Gujarat Titans, captained by Gill, finished 7th in the points table.
2- Kolkata Knight Riders (Shreyas Iyer)
Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL 2024 title under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. However, even after this, claims are being made to take away the captaincy from Shreyas Iyer. Many media reports have claimed that KKR has offered captaincy to Suryakumar Yadav, who plays for Mumbai Indians. However, no official information has been revealed about this.
3. Punjab Kings (Shikhar Dhawan)
Shikhar Dhawan was seen leading the Punjab Kings in IPL 2024. However, Dhawan had announced his retirement from international and domestic cricket a few days ago. In such a situation, a new captain is sure to be seen in Punjab Kings in the next IPL.
4. Lucknow Super Giants (KL Rahul)
KL Rahul took over the command of Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2024. Lucknow made its IPL debut in 2022 and since then KL Rahul is the captain of the team. In the 2024 IPL, some debate was seen between Rahul and team owner Sanjiv Goenka. After this, it was claimed in the news media reports that Rahul could be removed from the captaincy next season. However, no official information has been revealed yet.
5. Royal Challengers Bangalore (Faf du Plessis)
Faf du Plessis was seen captaining the Royal Challengers in IPL 2024. Now a mega auction is to be held before IPL 2025, before which RCB can release 40-year-old Faf du Plessis.
