IPL 2025 Team Captains: There is not much time left in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. This time the tournament will be from 22 March to 25 May. The opening match is to be held between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Eden Gardens.
In the IPL 2025 season, a total of 74 matches will be played between these 10 teams in 65 days, including the final. After the mega auction, all the teams are renewed. Only a few players are old. While there are five such teams who have created new captains.
This time five teams created new captains
These five teams are Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Delhi Capitals (DC), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). KKR has given command to Ajinkya Rahane.
While Delhi’s captaincy was given in the hands of spin all -rounder Akshar Patel. Rishabh Pant, the captaincy of the Lucknow team owned by Sanjeev Goenka, will take over. The Punjab franchise gave command to Shreyas Iyer. The Bangalore team has been captained by Rajat Patidar. The captains of the remaining 5 teams are old.
Not captain who makes the current team champion
After the mega auction, there was a big thing in this turmoil, which has hardly come to anyone’s mind. This time there is no such captain in any team who has made its current team a champion. Rohit Sharma and Mahendra Singh Dhoni are playing as players. Rohit has won the title of Mumbai and Dhoni 5-5 times.
Among the current captains, there are only two names who have made a team champion under their captaincy. The names are Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya. Shreyas won the title to Kolkata in the last season. But this time he is taking command of Punjab. While Pandya made Gujarat Titans champions in the 2022 season. He is the captain of the Mumbai team since last season.
