IPL 2025: Before IPL 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is going to organize a mega auction and before that all the franchises will have to submit the list of their retained players to the board. In such a situation, there are 5 teams which can release only their captain.

Actually, in the IPL 2025 auction, big giants will be in the auction and in such a situation, all the franchises will want to strengthen their team but perhaps this will be the first time in the history of IPL when 5 teams will release their captain.

Lucknow may release KL Rahul

Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul may be released by the franchise before IPL 2025. Actually, during a match against Hyderabad in IPL 2024, Lucknow had to face a humiliating defeat and after that the team owner Sanjiv Goenka was seen arguing with him on the field itself.

If all the media reports are to be believed, Rahul might return home and become the captain of Bangalore.

Shreyas Iyer may be dropped from Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata can also release captain Shreyas Iyer, who made his team champion in IPL 2024, before IPL 2025 and he can go to the auction. In such a situation, now they are looking for a new captain.

Actually, the team's fast bowler Harshit Rana had told during an interview that the team can release Iyer. In such a situation, it is going to be interesting to see now.

Shikhar Dhawan will also be out of the team

In IPL, the captaincy of Punjab Kings is in the hands of experienced opener Shikhar Dhawan and he can now be removed from the captaincy. Punjab could not make it to the IPL playoffs even once under his leadership and now he can be released before IPL 2025 for this reason.

Sunrisers Hyderabad can also release Pat Cummins

Hyderabad team can release captain Pat Cummins, who led the team to the finals of IPL 2024, as they will be allowed to retain only one foreign player and in such a situation they would like to retain wicketkeeper batsman Heinrich Klaasen and for this reason Cummins can be released before IPL 2025.

Rishabh Pant may leave Delhi Capitals

Actually, at this time many such media reports are coming out, in which it is being claimed that everything is not going well with Rishabh Pant and the Delhi team management and due to this Pant can be released before the IPL 2025 auction.

If reports are to be believed, Pant can go to Chennai Super Kings and become the captain there because everyone knows the closeness between him and MS Dhoni.
