Probable captains of all 10 teams in IPL 2025: A mega auction was organized before IPL 2025, in which all the 10 teams bought players as per their requirement. Some prepared a squad of maximum 25 players, while others kept a few less players. After the auction, the squads of all the teams seem ready and now the fans are eagerly waiting for the next year's season. This time many big names were also a part of the mega auction, due to which the record of the most expensive player in the auction was broken and Rishabh Pant came out on top with a price of Rs 27 crore. At the same time, Shreyas Iyer also received an amount of more than Rs 26 crore. Both these players are being said to be contenders for captaincy.
For the 18th season of IPL, some teams have kept faith in their old captains, while franchises like Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Punjab and Lucknow released their captains. For this reason, fans have a desire to know which player will be the captain of which team in the next season. In this article we are going to mention the possible captains of all 10 teams.
10. Sanju Samson- Rajasthan Royals
The Rajasthan franchise was the first to retain Sanju Samson and kept its faith in him. Under his captaincy, the performance of Rajasthan Royals has been excellent for some time but the team is still far away from winning the title. Despite this, once again Sanju will take charge of this team.
9. Shreyas Iyer – Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings bought Shreyas Iyer, who made the Kolkata team the champion in IPL 2024, for a huge price of Rs 26.75 crore, making him the second most expensive player in the auction history. In such a situation, it is expected that we can see Shreyas as their captain.
8. Pat Cummins – Sunrisers Hyderabad
Hyderabad team had traveled till the final last season. SRH played aggressive cricket throughout the season and the credit for this was largely given to Pat Cummins. He has also been retained, that is why it is expected that Cummins will be seen captaining again.
7. Shubhman Gill – Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans retained their last season's captain Shubman Gill ahead of the auction. Once again we will see Gill captaining Gujarat.
6. Ruturaj Gaikwad – Chennai Super Kings

5. Hardik Pandya – Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians took a big decision for the 17th season of IPL and appointed Hardik Pandya as the captain in place of Rohit Sharma. Under his captaincy, the team could not even make it to the playoffs and MI fans were also seen angry. Despite this, Hardik has been retained and he will be seen captaining in IPL 2025.
4. KL Rahul – Delhi Capitals
The Lucknow franchise had released KL Rahul and he became a part of Delhi Capitals in the auction. Delhi also did not retain its captain Rishabh Pant. For this reason, now they will be looking for a new captain and it is believed that we can see Rahul in this role.
3. Venkatesh Iyer – Kolkata Knight Riders
KKR did not retain their captain Shreyas Iyer and had to buy Venkatesh Iyer at a huge price in the mega auction. In such a situation, it is believed that only Venkatesh can be seen leading KKR in IPL 2025.
2. Rishabh Pant – Lucknow Super Giants
When Lucknow team released KL Rahul, it was believed that their first retention Nicholas Puran would captain but a big game happened in the mega auction. LSG bought Rishabh Pant for 27 crores. For this reason, it is now believed that the responsibility of captaincy can be handed over to Rishabh Pant.
1. Virat Kohli – Royal Challengers Bangalore
After releasing Faf du Plessis, RCB did not buy him back in the auction. Apart from this, he also did not include any star player who could be a contender for captaincy. For this reason, there are indications that we may see Virat Kohli once again taking charge of the Bengaluru team.
