Captain of Punjab – Lucknow declared

Like many other teams, Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants entered the IPL mega auction held in November last year with the intention of finding a new captain. Both bought many big players and have now announced their captains. Punjab handed over the command to Shreyas Iyer, who made Kolkata Knight Riders champions in IPL 2024. At the same time, Lucknow expressed confidence in Rishabh Pant.

Captains of these teams including Mumbai-Gujarat also decided

Some teams including Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans have not changed their captains. Mumbai will be commanded by Hardik Pandya, Gujarat Titans' Shubman Gill, Chennai Super Kings' Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rajasthan Royals will be commanded by Sanju Samson. At the same time, IPL 2024 runner-up Sunrisers Hyderabad will also play the next season under the leadership of Pat Cummins.

Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders, including Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals, are yet to officially announce their captains. But the names of their captains are also considered almost certain. KKR can hand over the command to Ajinkya Rahane, while Delhi Capitals can hand over the command to either KL Rahul and Akshar Patel. Apart from Virat Kohli, no other big face is visible in Royal Challengers Bangalore. In such a situation, there is a possibility of him being made the captain.
