But do you know who will be seen captaining all the 10 teams in IPL 2025? However, many teams are yet to make an official announcement regarding this. But, according to estimates, the situation is almost clear as to who is going to take command of which team in IPL 2025. These speculations are also being made because whether it is the retention of IPL 2025 or the mega auction, the teams have spent crores on those players.

10 captains for 199.35 crores!

Now let us know who can be seen captaining which team? First of all, know that the 10 teams of IPL 2025 together have spent Rs 199.35 crore on those players. So, who could be those faces who can be the captain, now let us know that also.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)- In the mega auction of IPL 2025, this team almost opened the safe to buy Rishabh Pant. By spending Rs 27 crore on Pant, he made him the most expensive player not only of this season but of the entire IPL history. If Lucknow has spent so much money on Pant, then it is obvious that apart from keeping and batting, they are also seeing their captain in him. The big thing is that Pant has previous experience of captaincy in IPL.

Delhi Capitals (DC)- If seen from KL Rahul's perspective, he has a loss of Rs 3 crore in the mega auction of IPL 2025. Last season he was getting Rs 17 crore from LSG. But this is a good deal at a cheap price for Delhi Capitals. Because only after spending Rs 14 crores he got the option of keeper, batsman and captain. Rahul was the captain of LSG last season.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK)- Ruturaj Gaikwad can be the captain of yellow jersey Chennai Super Kings. This is because Ruturaj has been seen commanding this team in the last season also and secondly, CSK has also retained him for IPL 2025 for Rs 18 crores.

Punjab Kings (PBKS): Punjab Kings, which came with the biggest purse in the mega auction of IPL 2025, lavished money on Shreyas Iyer. He has added them to himself for Rs 26.75 crore. Iyer has made KKR champion under his captaincy last season. In such a situation, it is not difficult to understand why Punjab Kings have made such an expensive bid for him. Shreyas Ayyap can be seen captaining Punjab Kings in IPL 2025.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR): This team surprised when it did not seem to be trying its best to buy Shreyas Iyer. But, it spent Rs 23.75 crore on the second Iyer i.e. Venkatesh Iyer. The surprising thing is that why did Venkatesh get so much money? But, maybe KKR is thinking of making him the captain. Venkatesh Iyer himself, after being sold in the auction, was seen saying that he is ready to take over as captain.

Gujarat Titans (GT): Shubman Gill was the captain of Gujarat Titans in the last season also and will be in IPL 2025 also. Gujarat franchise has retained him for the next season for Rs 16.50 crore.

Rajasthan Royals (RR): This team also already has its captain in the form of Sanju Samson. Rajasthan has retained Sanju for Rs 18 crore for IPL 2025.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH): Kavya Maran may have been seen bidding on famous players in the mega auction of IPL 2025. But, the captain of her team in IPL 2025 will be Pat Cummins, whom she has already retained for Rs 18 crores.
