Rohit Sharma: There is still a lot of time left for IPL 2025 to start but all the franchises are already busy with their preparations. This time the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is going to conduct a mega auction. In such a situation, many big giants will participate in the auction.

Even before the start of the next season, all kinds of news are coming out in the media. In this episode, it is now being claimed that the captains of a total of 6 teams can be changed in IPL 2025 and this includes Rohit Sharma to Virat Kohli.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will become captain again

If we talk about Virat Kohli, under his captaincy, he could take Royal Challengers Bangalore to the finals only once.

In view of this, he resigned from the captaincy of RCB in the year 2022, but even after this the condition of the team did not improve and now such news is coming out that Bangalore can hand over the captaincy to Kohli again.

Mumbai Indians removed Rohit Sharma from captaincy before IPL 2024, who had made this team champion 5 times. Veteran all-rounder Hardik Pandya was appointed as the new captain in place of Rohit but the team could not perform well.

In view of this, Rohit can be given the captaincy once again.

The captains of these four teams will also change

Actually, not only Mumbai and Bangalore but the captains of 4 other teams can be changed from IPL 2025.

Punjab Kings is also included in this series, which wants to include Kolkata's Nitish Rana in its team and make him the captain. Apart from this, Rajasthan Royals also want to give this responsibility to Jos Buttler in place of Sanju Samson.

All kinds of news are coming out about Lucknow and it is believed that Nicholas Pooran can be given the captaincy in place of KL Rahul. At the same time, Gujarat Titans can also make Rashid Khan their captain by removing Shubman Gill.

Franchisees will be able to retain only 4 players

Let us tell you that whenever a mega auction is organized in IPL, BCCI allows only 4 players to be retained.

However, this time the owners of all the teams have requested to increase this number during the meeting.
