With IPL 2025 around the corner, teams have finalized their captains, setting the stage for another exciting tournament. The list includes experienced leaders, rising stars, and a lone overseas captain. Fans will be watching closely as these players guide their teams through the season.
One of the biggest changes is Shreyas Iyer moving to Punjab Kings (PBKS). After leading Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to the title in 2024, he was picked up for ₹26.75 crores, making him one of the highest-paid players in IPL history.
Hardik Pandya will continue as Mumbai Indians (MI) captain, having taken over from Rohit Sharma last season. Ruturaj Gaikwad remains in charge of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after succeeding MS Dhoni in 2024.
Sanju Samson continues to lead Rajasthan Royals (RR) as he looks to take them further in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be led by Pat Cummins, the only foreign captain in IPL 2025.
With Shreyas Iyer leaving KKR, the team has appointed Venkatesh Iyer as their new captain. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant has taken charge of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) after previously captaining Delhi Capitals.
A big development came on February 13, 2025, when Rajat Patidar was named as the new captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Fans will be eager to see how he handles the leadership role.
KL Rahul is expected to lead Delhi Capitals (DC), but an official confirmation is still awaited.
With teams locking in their captains, all eyes will be on their leadership as they guide their squads through the season. The competition is shaping up to be an exciting battle as each team fights for the IPL trophy.
