Rishabh Pant-KL Rahul: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will organize a mega auction before IPL 2025 and in such a situation, the franchise will be allowed to retain only 4 players. We may see a lot of changes in the teams in this auction.

In this regard, if all the information coming out so far is to be believed, then Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant and Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul may not be seen playing in this team anymore and they may be part of another team.

Rishabh Pant can leave Delhi and join this team

Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul both left their teams, will be seen captaining these 2 new franchises in IPL 2025

Let us tell you that Rishabh started his career in IPL by playing for Delhi and now he is also captaining the team. However, now it is being claimed in many media reports that he may leave DC and join another team.

In fact, earlier also such news has come out that Pant can leave Delhi and join Chennai Super Kings. The main reason for this can be former Chennai captain MS Dhoni because Pant and he are good friends and are often seen with each other. In such a situation, if Rishabh becomes a part of Chennai, then he can captain the team and Rituraj Gaikwad can be removed from his post.

KL Rahul may leave Lucknow

Star wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul is currently captaining Lucknow and under his captaincy, Lucknow has reached the playoffs twice. However, things got very bad between him and team owner Sanjiv Goenka in IPL 2024 and since then there have been reports that Rahul may be released by the Lucknow franchise.

If Rahul goes to the auction, many teams can include him in their camp. However, there is every possibility that Royal Challengers Bangalore can add the wicketkeeper batsman to their team and can also hand over the captaincy to him. Currently, Faf du Plessis is the captain of Bangalore but as soon as Rahul arrives, he can be made the captain.

Teams will be able to retain only 4 players

Let us tell you that before the mega auction, BCCI allows retaining only 4 players and in such a situation, this time it will be interesting to see whether there are some changes in the rule or the same rule will remain applicable because many franchises are giving their different opinions.
