The mega auction for the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season is scheduled to take place later this year or at the start of 2025.
Several IPL franchises will be seeking new captaincy options for the 2025 season.
There is a possibility that several star players will be available before the auction, who could potentially fill these leadership roles.
According to a report, Rohit Sharma will part ways with Mumbai Indians before the IPL 2025 season.
Rohit was replaced by Hardik Pandya as the MI captain and the team suffered abysmal performance.
Suryakumar Yadav might also leave Mumbai Indians ahead of the IPL 2025.
Reportedly, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) could target him in the mega auction scheduled for next year.
Delhi Capitals (DC) too are reportedly dissatisfied with Rishabh Pant. Reports suggest that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) might target Pant in the upcoming auction.
However, another report claims that DC will stick with Rishabh Pant and retain the 26-year old ahead of the mega auction.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul could be another name that can be seen changing his jersey colours in the IPL 2025.
Rahul was seemingly at odds with the franchise owner as him and LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka had a heated altercation during one of the matches.
