IPL 2025: (IPL 2025) There has been a big stir in the season about the captaincy. While some teams are ready to enter the field with their new captains, some teams are facing the absence of their prominent players. Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), taking a major decision, has declared young batsman Rajat Patidar as the new captain of the team. This decision is also shocking because earlier in the captaincy race, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell's names were in discussion. But RCB has given the responsibility to the Patidar while playing a new bet.

New strategy with new captains

This time, three new teams have also got new captains in the IPL. Delhi Capitals have handed over the captaincy to L Rahul, who had earlier taken command of Lucknow Super Giants. At the same time, Lucknow has given the responsibility of his leadership to former Delhi captain Rishabh Pant. Shreyas Iyer, who was the captain of KKR in 2024, will be the new leader of Punjab Kings this time. It is clear from these changes that the teams are preparing their strategy afresh and keeping the future in mind in the election of captaincy.

While some teams will start their campaign with new captains, three major captains will not be able to participate in IPL 2025 due to injury or other reasons. Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians) will be out of the first match due to suspension. Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals) is almost certain to miss the first part of his season due to the problem of injury. There are also reports of Australian captain Pat Cummins (Sunrisers Hyderabad) being out of some matches. In the absence of these legendary captains, teams will have to land with new combinations, which will increase even more adventures in the league.

Cricket world eyes on RCB's decision

The decision to make Rajat Patidar the captain of RCB has surprised cricket lovers. The 30 -year -old batsman has performed brilliantly in the last few season, but has no major experience of captaincy. However, the franchise has given them a chance, linking this decision to the future strategy. How the RCB will perform under the leadership of Patidar will be a matter of view.

These major changes about captaincy in IPL 2025 are making the league more exciting. All teams will enter the field with new strategic equations, which will give fans to see tremendous cricket action. Now it will be interesting to see which team takes advantage of these changes and moves towards the trophy.
