Top 3 captaincy options to watch out for in IPL 2025 auction

Explore the top three captaincy options to watch in the IPL 2025 auction. As the mega auction for the Indian Premier League (IPL) season 18 is down the corner, several talented players will be on the auction table, waiting for different franchises to bid on them. Franchises have already announced their retention list and will now be looking for players who can stay with them for the upcoming three years and form the core team. Teams like DC and KXIP have chosen the least number of players, and hence, they can easily buy a lot of other players at the auction. Each franchise is given a purse of 120 crores, of which 45-50 crores are mostly left with the most. The most interesting part is the players who are captaincy candidates and are in the auction. Franchises would go to any height to get them in their teams.

Let’s check out the top three captaincy options to watch out for in IPL 2025 auction:

1. Rishabh Pant

Delhi Capitals’ former captain, Rishabh Pant, has been in terrific form and has done well in the IPL as well. He is a captain material but has failed to help DC win a title. DC had an imbalanced team, which is why they haven’t won a single title yet. Now, Pant might get a chance to play for some other franchise where he can lead the team. 

2. Faf Du Plessis

Former CSK player and RCB captain Faf du Plessis has a good experience in the tournament. However, due to his age and failed performances in the previous season, RCB didn’t retain him. He has done wonders in the past for CSK and RCB, and any team that picks him up will make him their captain. 

3. KL Rahul

KL Rahul is another brilliant player who will be seen at the auction table with franchises going crazy over him. He is a talented batter and is a great captain. With LSG, he couldn’t win a single title in two years but made pretty evident efforts. Hence, taking him in the team will be an additional positive point for any franchise.
