IPL 2025 All Teams Captains List: IPL 2025 will start on 21 March and the final will be played on 26 May. Like last time, there will be a competition between a total of 10 teams to become the champion. Let us remind you that a mega auction was conducted for IPL 2025, after which the teams seem to have changed to a great extent. Till now the captain of only 6 out of 10 teams has been revealed. Here we know about those four teams which have not yet decided their leader.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) – Rishabh Pant

Lucknow Super Giants had entered IPL in the year 2022. Since then, KL Rahul had been commanding this team, but Rahul has now gone to Delhi Capitals. LSG franchise had spent a lot of money on Rishabh Pant this time because Pant was bought for Rs 27 crore. According to the report released by ESPN Cricinfo, this time the command of Lucknow team is going to be given to Rishabh Pant.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) – Virat Kohli

Faf du Plessis was captaining Royal Challengers Bangalore for the last 3 years, but du Plessis has now gone back to Delhi Capitals. If we look at the Bengaluru squad, on the basis of captaincy and personal experience, Virat Kohli seems to be an ideal choice to become the captain of the team.

Delhi Capitals (DC) – Axar Patel

Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik has taken retirement from all types of cricket. He will be seen as the mentor of RCB in IPL 2025. According to Cricbuzz, Karthik said that he came to know that Akshar Patel is going to become the captain of Delhi Capitals. Although there was speculation that KL Rahul would also be made the captain, but at present Akshar Patel seems to be leading in the race for captaincy.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) – Venkatesh Iyer

As far as captaincy is concerned, the management of Kolkata Knight Riders might have been in a dilemma. The team has many brilliant and world class players but it is not easy for it to solve the mystery of captaincy. Ajinkya Rahane can be a good captaincy option, but his individual performance is not very good in T20 cricket. In such a situation, Venkatesh Iyer can be seen as the captain, who has been associated with KKR for the last 4 years. KKR had spent Rs 23.75 crore on him in the mega auction.
