DTVHINDI“Virat will captain RCB in IPL 2025” – This Indian legend made a big prediction after ABD
Faf du Plessis was the captain of RCB in IPL 2024. Virat Kohli & Dinesh Karthik (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had released Faf du Plessis before the upcoming IPL season and till now the franchise has not even announced the name of the new captain. Now in such a situation, there is only one question in the minds of the fans, there is doubt about who will captain the team in IPL 2025. However, Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes that Virat Kohli will be the captain of RCB in IPL 2025. Talking about the squad of Royal Challengers Bangalore after the mega auction for IPL 2025, Ashwin said that he has no option other than Virat for captaincy. Just a few days ago, former South African captain AB de Villiers had predicted that Virat Kohli will lead the franchise next year. Virat Kohli left the captaincy of RCB after 2021. R Ashwin made a big prediction regarding Virat Kohli Now R Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, “There is every possibility that Virat Kohli will captain the team. I feel the same way because they didn’t go for the captain. If he doesn’t go with anyone then I don’t see anyone other than Virat Kohli as captain.” Regarding RCB’s auction, the spinner further said, “I think their auction was very excellent. Many teams had brought crores of rupees in their purse. They were spending fast but RCB waited even after having a lot of money. Who needs it, they’re the ones I need. My entire team is important. My 12 or 14 people are important. Let us tell you that in the mega auction held in Jeddah, RCB bought players like Tim David, Josh Hazlewood, Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma. Now it remains to be seen which playing XI he will field with in the upcoming season and whether he can get them their first title or not.
“Make Akshar the captain, he is greatly underestimated”- Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding the captaincy of DC.
Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former player Aakash Chopra believes that Delhi Capitals (DC) should appoint Axar Patel as their captain before KL Rahul for IPL 2025. He said that the spin-bowling all-rounder has been a great performer for the franchise and will lead the team well. Delhi Capitals had released their last season’s captain Rishabh Pant before the auction, while retaining Akshar for ₹16.50 crore. They failed to re-acquire Pant but bought Rahul for ₹14 crore. Delhi Capitals should make Akshar Patel the captain – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Who will be the captain? Their situation is like KKR. Could be Akshar Patel. I have no objection to him becoming the captain. If you give me a choice, I would say make Akshar the captain. He is very underrated, very mature, performs brilliantly and will run the team very well. He is a player who will be respected.” Delhi Capitals have included KL Rahul in their camp by paying Rs 14 crore, this is also being said to be the steeliest deal of this auction. On one hand, the bid for Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer has crossed Rs 26 crores, on the other hand, if a team gets a player like KL Rahul for Rs 14 crores, then it would not be wrong to call it the steeliest deal. Chopra further said, “KL Rahul can be another option. The third option could be Faf du Plessis, if they so choose, but they cannot start Faf from the start as they have used the Right to Match (RTM) card for Jake Fraser-McGurk. So I am thinking between Akshar and Rahul, but the management has not given any clarity yet. My vote is in favor of Akshar because his performance on this field has been exceptional.”
Rishabh Pant’s ambition is clear, he wants to captain India: Parth Jindal
Rishabh Pant will now be seen playing for Lucknow Super Giants instead of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025. Rishabh Pant and Parth Jindal (Image Credit- Twitter Delhi Capitals (DC) co-owner Parth Jindal has recently said about star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant that he wants to become the captain of the Indian cricket team. After the mega auction of IPL 2025, Jindal has given a big statement regarding Pant’s ambition in life. It is noteworthy that in the IPL mega auction held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, former Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant has been added to the team by Lucknow Super Giants by making a record bid of Rs 27 crore. So there is also a possibility that Pant can be seen captaining LSG in the 18th season. Parth Jindal gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the mega auction for the 18th season of IPL, while talking with ESPN Cricinfo, Parth Jindal said – We were very clear that we know his (Pant’s) ambitions, we know where he wants to go. Wants. He has made it clear that his dream and desire is to captain India, and that starts with captaining an IPL team. Jindal further said about Akshar Patel and the captaincy of Delhi Capitals in the upcoming season – Akshar has been with the franchise for a long time. He has been a tremendous player for the franchise. He is probably the best all-rounder in T-20 today. He has been phenomenal for us and has done a great job as the vice-captain of the franchise. Whenever Rishabh was not available, whenever Rishabh was injured, Axar stepped up and played a big role. He’s a happy guy, he keeps the dressing room very light. He’s a simple character and he’s someone who, I think, can do very good work. So we will have to take a decision, but I have not talked to Akshar about this. But he is definitely someone who keeps the dressing room together, which is a good trait for a leader.

Shreyas Iyer to captain Mumbai in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT): Reports
Tournament is starting from 23rd November Shreyas Iyer (Pic Source-X) Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has reportedly appointed Shreyas Iyer as the captain for the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), while Prithvi Shaw has also got a place in the squad. The senior selection committee, which will start from November 23, took this decision on Sunday. So, if Indian Express reports regarding this decision are to be believed, then the appointment of giving the responsibility of captaincy to Iyer has been done because of his impressive track record in the shortest format. It is noteworthy that in IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won the title for the third time under the captaincy of Iyer. If this happens, then Mumbai Ranji team captain Ajinkya Rahane can be seen playing under the captaincy of Iyer. On the other hand, opener Prithvi Shaw has also returned in the tournament starting from November 23, who was not included in Mumbai’s Ranji team due to fitness reasons. So due to injuries in this team, some star players have not got a place. This season, Shivam Dubey, Musheer Khan and fast bowler Tushar Deshpande will not be able to play in SMAT from Mumbai due to injury. But despite all this, there is a lot of depth in batting and bowling in the Mumbai team selected for the tournament. The team has experienced players like Shams Mulani and Shardul Thakur, who provide balance to the team in both areas. Full squad of Mumbai team for Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2024-25 Prithvi Shaw, Ayush Mhatre, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Jai Bista, Shriraj Gharat, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, Suryansh Shedge, Ishan Moolchandani, Siddhesh Lad, Hardik Tamore (wk), Akash Anand (wk), Sairaj Patil, Akash Parkar, Shams Mullani. , Himanshu Singh, Sagar Chhabria, Shardul Thakur, Mohit Awasthi, Sylvester D’Souza, Royston Dias, Yogesh Patil, Harsh Tanna, Irfan Umair, Vinayak Bhoir, Kritik Hanagwadi, Shashank Attard, Junaid Khan.
“Don’t end your career”- Rohit did not want to become Test captain, then Ganguly convinced him
The first test match will be played between India and Australia from 22nd November. Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. (Image Source: Getty Images) Team India’s former veteran captain and player Sourav Ganguly has made a big revelation about Rohit Sharma. Ganguly revealed that when Virat Kohli decided to step down from the captaincy role after the series against South Africa in January 2022, Rohit Sharma was not ready to become the Test captain considering his workload. However, Ganguly convinced Rohit for this and he led Team India in all three formats. Now after retiring from T20, he is the captain of the ODI and Test teams, while Suryakumar Yadav is leading Team India in the shortest format of cricket. The former Indian captain said that he had to convince Rohit to take over the captaincy in the longer format and he is not surprised by what Rohit has achieved so far. Sourav Ganguly made a big revelation about Rohit Sharma Sourav Ganguly was quoted as saying by RevSportz, “He did not become the captain because he was captaining in other formats. Therefore he had a lot of workload. I don’t believe in workload. India’s Test captain will remain the Test captain. I told him not to end his career without becoming a Test captain, I am not surprised by what he has achieved.” Team India is currently on Australia tour where they have to play 5-match Border Gavaskar Test series against the hosts. There is doubt over the availability of captain Rohit Sharma in the first match of this series. Actually, Rohit has recently become a father for the second time. For this reason he did not leave for Australia with the Indian squad. Regarding this, Ganguly says that if he had been in Rohit’s place, he would have gone to Australia for the Perth Test. He also believes that the upcoming series will be 37-year-old Rohit’s last tour in Australia. Ganguly said, “I hope that Rohit Sharma will leave soon, because the team needs leadership. I believe his wife gave birth to a son last night, so I’m sure he will be gone from the team. He should go as soon as possible and if I were in his place, he would be playing the Perth Test.”
