IPL 2025 / Rohit Sharma will become the captain of LSG, will Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh also change the team?

IPL 2025: It has not even been a month since winning the T20 World Cup 2024 and the Indian fans are again debating the issues related to captaincy and selection of players. With the arrival of new coach Gautam Gambhir, the decisions taken in the announcement of the team for the Sri Lanka tour have shocked everyone. Everyone was surprised to see Suryakumar Yadav being made the captain of the T20 team in place of Hardik Pandya. The most important thing is that its effect is going to be seen not only on Team India, but also on the IPL season next year, where changes can be seen in the captaincy. In this, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant are being discussed the most.

The reason for all the uproar over the captaincy is the last season, when Hardik Pandya, who was the captain of Gujarat Titans, suddenly surprised everyone by returning to his old team Mumbai Indians. After this, the owners of the franchise removed the most successful captain of the team, Rohit Sharma, and made Hardik the captain. Since then, the relationship between Rohit and Hardik had deteriorated, while a star player like Suryakumar Yadav was also said to be angry. At the same time, the controversial video of Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul and its owner Sanjiv Goenka away from them has also emphasized the possibilities of change.

Teams will keep an eye on Rohit-Surya

Amidst all this, Rohit Sharma won the T20 World Cup title while captaining Team India, while Suryakumar Yadav has been made the new T20 captain of Team India. Due to this, there are possibilities of a huge reshuffle before the next season and the reason for this is the mega auction to be held this time. A report has claimed that many franchises are looking to change their captains and after the latest developments, eyes are on Rohit and Suryakumar Yadav. After being removed from the captaincy of Mumbai, will Rohit like to stay in the team? Or after getting the captaincy of Team India, will Surya want to play under Hardik's captaincy in Mumbai?

The report claims that if Rohit and Surya decide to leave Mumbai, then teams like Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders can try to acquire them. However, the big question is how correct will the decision to remove KKR title-winning captain Shreyas Iyer be? Not only these two franchises, but Delhi Capitals can also join this race. It is being claimed that the franchise is not very happy with its current captain Rishabh Pant and is considering retaining or releasing him. If released, Surya or Rohit may have a chance.

Will Pant go to CSK?

On the other hand, if Rishabh Pant leaves Delhi, then Chennai Super Kings may be ready to adopt him as they are looking for a great wicketkeeper to replace MS Dhoni. The report quoted CSK sources as saying that they will try to include the best wicketkeeper in the country. At the same time, the separation of Rahul and Lucknow is almost certain and in such a situation, Rahul can return to his home i.e. Royal Challengers Bangalore, which itself is said to be looking for an Indian captain.
