In the history of the IPL, we have seen many ups and downs, where new teams entered over time, whose players made their home in the hearts of the fans with great performances. Although change is the law of nature, perhaps that is why in IPL 2025, it is being predicted that almost all teams will see the displacement of players.
An important mega auction is expected before the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), in which the transfer news of many big players is in the headlines. These changes can bring changes not only in the composition of the teams but also in the captaincy.
Who will be the captain of which team in IPL 2025 (Most Probably)?
The biggest news about this is that the captain of Delhi Capitals, Rishabh Pant, can take farewell from his team. Rishabh Pant is also likely to join Chennai Super Kings, where he is also expected to be made the captain. After Dhoni’s retirement, Chennai are looking for a wicketkeeper, and Pant could be a better option for them at the moment.
At the time of this big change in Delhi, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma can also change his turn. Sharma is also likely to leave Mumbai, and if he joins Delhi, he could be made the captain there.
Suryakumar Yadav, who has been linked with Lucknow, is also expected to leave Mumbai Indians. If he joins LSG, he might get the responsibility of captaincy as well.
There is also a possibility of a change in captaincy in the Hyderabad team as Pat Cummins is expected to leave Hyderabad after the final of the World Test Championship. If that happens, then Aiden Markram might get a chance to take over the captaincy.
Apart from this, Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul can also leave his team and join RCB. Here too, he is likely to take up the responsibility of captaincy.
The following chart lists the probable captains for IPL 2025:
| Team | Probable Captain |
| Delhi Capitals | Rohit Sharma |
