#1 Shubman Gill
Out of all the IPL captains, Shubman Gill was the youngest among them. He was given the leadership of the Gujrat Titans in IPL 2024. Gujarat Titans failed to qualify for the playoffs in their third season. Gill’s captaincy was quite average in the whole season. Gujarat Titans will look to include an experienced and successful captain for IPL 2025.
#2 Shikhar Dhawan
Punjab Kings is one of those teams who always start their campaign on a very high note. They always look dangerous in the early half of the season. For the past two years, Shikhar Dhawan has been leading the Punjab Kings and, in both seasons, they have failed to qualify for the playoffs. Dhawan is getting old and he has failed to produce results for the franchise. Punjab can look to release him before the 2025 IPL auction.
#1 KL Rahul
KL Rahul can be one of the biggest surprises in the released players list of the 2025 auction. Last year there were videos surfing on the internet of how the LSGs owner was scolding KL Rahul after the match against SRH. KL Rahul is not looking promising in T20 cricket. He was excluded from India’s T20I squad of the T20 World Cup. LSG qualified in playoffs two times under Rahul’s captaincy still he can still get released before the 2025 IPL auction.
