Delhi: Before the 20th season of the Indian Premier League, there has been a lot of activity in the trade market. After several days of rumors, a trade of four players took place between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Under this trade, Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards have now become part of CSK, while Khalil Ahmed and Nathan Ellis have gone to Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Along with this reshuffle of players, big changes can also be seen in captaincy in many teams. Meanwhile, former Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis believes that at least 3 out of 10 teams can get new captains in IPL 2027. These include the names of Mumbai Indians, Lucknow Super Giants and KKR. Du Plessis has also made predictions about the captains of these three teams.

Who will take charge of Lucknow Super Giants?

Rishabh Pant, who captained Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026, has left the team and returned to Delhi Capitals. In such a situation, Lucknow is looking for a new captain. Speaking on Cricinfo, Du Plessis said that either Aiden Markram or Mitchell Marsh can lead the Lucknow Super Giants in the upcoming season.

Who will be the new captain of Kolkata Knight Riders?

Rahane captained Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2026, who has now retired. According to Du Plessis, KKR can hand over the command of its team to young batsman Rinku Singh. Apart from this, if Hardik Pandya comes to KKR after being traded, then he can also be given the responsibility of captaincy.

Who will get the command of Mumbai Indians?

There is still doubt about Hardik Pandya, who has been leading Mumbai Indians for the last two seasons, whether he will remain in the team or not. Du Plessis believes that if Mumbai Indians changes its captaincy, then either Rohit Sharma or veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah can take charge of the team.
