A total of 7 IPL captains are confirmed so far. After seeing teams like Mumbai Indians and CSK confirm their captains early on, in recent developments, we have Rishabh Pant set to lead LSG in IPL 2025. In a very interesting way, Shreyas Iyer has been announced as PBKS’s leader. However, there are still a few teams that are yet to decide who will lead their pack in IPL 2025. Among them, there have been many speculations, but no major confirmations. These teams have many options but have not yet picked one for the upcoming season.Take a look at all three teams that are looking for a leader.
RCB
One name that is emerging as the leader option is Virat Kohli. Although nothing is confirmed yet, there are many speculations, but no clear answers that could make anything clear for RCB fans. Last time, it was Faf du Plessis who led the team, and overall, he did well in his tenure from 2022 to 2024. RCB made it to the playoffs twice, although it is surely not enough. Having played in the IPL since 2008, they now need to make someone captain who can not only help the team get closer to the shiny IPL trophy but also bring it into their cabinet.
KKR
For defending champions KKR, they have plenty of options, from Ajinkya Rahane to Venkatesh Iyer, and even Quinton de Kock. All have captaincy potential, especially Rahane and Iyer, who are seen as the real contenders for the role. But it’s no hidden fact that it won’t be easy, as KKR are the IPL 2024 champions. When they step onto the field, they will be a team under immense pressure since they are the champions and need to defend their title, making things interesting.
DC
Now, when it comes to Delhi Capitals, they also have some incredible options, from KL Rahul to Faf du Plessis to Axar Patel. Surely, all-rounder Axar’s chances are looking strong this time, but still, no confirmation has come. And just like RCB, they need a boost this time, as they don’t have a trophy in their cabinet. They will need a captain who can help the team secure silverware. Delhi Capitals always come with a combination of experience and youth, but usually don’t make it big. This time, it will be interesting to see whom they choose as captain and how the team performs in IPL 2025.
