IPL 2025: Who will captain Punjab Kings in the next season of IPL after Shikhar Dhawan's retirement?
The next season of IPL is still far away, but every day some news is coming out about the Indian Premier League. Meanwhile, preparations for the election have started. The final auction is also to be held this year. It is believed that soon the footballers will be told its rules, so that they can prepare their records from a single account. Meanwhile, the quality of Punjab Kings has improved a bit.
Shikhar Dhawan was captaining Punjab Kings for the last two seasons. He got injured in IPL 2024, after which he could neither play nor captain. In such a situation, Sam Curran was given the responsibility of captaincy. But the performance of the team was not very good and the team could not even reach the last four. Now if Shikhar Dhawan does not play IPL, then who will take charge of the team, however, they have a player in the form of Sam Curran, who can take over the captaincy at the moment, and he is also quite expensive. It is possible that Punjab Kings may release him before the auction to be held later this year.
Punjab Kings' first attempt will be to find a player in the auction who can also handle the responsibility of captaincy. For this, it will be necessary that teams are allowed to retain only a few players before the auction, so that a large number of big players come to the field for the auction and the team can bring them to their side. But if this does not happen, then it is possible that Sam Curran will be seen leading the team in the Indian Premier League next year as well. Anyway, the Punjab team is known and recognized for changing the captain the most in the IPL, despite this the team does not have any IPL title so far.
The Punjab Kings team has been playing IPL since the first season. The team was earlier named Kings XI Punjab, which was later changed. Even after changing the name, the team's luck did not change and the team is still yearning for the first IPL title. However, some media reports are even claiming that the Punjab team wants to make Rohit Sharma the captain. But it is not yet known how much truth there is in such news. In the coming time, when the rules of IPL will be decided, then something can be said for sure. For now it would be better to wait.
