IPL 2025: Before IPL 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is going to organize a mega auction and in such a situation, all the teams have a great opportunity to fulfill all their shortcomings and enter the field this time.

There will be many big players in this auction and that is why before the start of the next season, 4 franchises have changed their captains and shown them the way out.

Delhi Capitals may release Rishabh Pant

If we talk about Rishabh Pant, he has been the captain of the team since 2022 and the Delhi team can release him before the start of this season. If all the media reports are to be believed, Pant can leave Delhi and become a part of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) this time.

Rishabh has captained the team for two years because he could not play in the 2023 season due to injury but he returned in 2024 and could not even take the team to the playoffs. In such a situation, the Delhi team is angry with him and may leave him.

Bangalore may release Faf du Plessis

Royal Challengers Bangalore's captaincy is in the hands of veteran batsman Faf du Plessis but now he is 40 years old and keeping this in mind, the Bangalore team can show him the way out.

KL Rahul may leave Lucknow

KL Rahul is the captain of Lucknow since the year 2022 and under his captaincy the team has reached the playoffs twice in three years, but despite this, he can now leave this franchise.

In fact, during IPL 2024, Rahul was seen talking angrily to Lucknow owner Sanjiv Goenka on the field itself and since then news started coming out that the Lucknow team could release Rahul before the next season.

Punjab Kings may release Shikhar Dhawan

Punjab Kings' name is included in those teams which have not been able to win the IPL trophy even once so far. In IPL 2024, the captaincy of the team was in the hands of experienced batsman Shikhar Dhawan but he was injured throughout the season.

The Punjab team has not been able to make it to the playoffs for the last few seasons and now this team can oust its captain Dhawan.
