Now in IPL 2025, Shreyas Iyer is expected to captain Punjab Kings, while Rishabh Pant is likely to lead Lucknow Super Giants. Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal also dominated the auction, who was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore. On the other hand, former Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul will now play for Delhi Capitals, on whom a bid of Rs 14 crore was made.

Let us tell you that this time Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Faf du Plessis were not retained by their teams. All of them captained their respective teams in the last season of IPL.
