As the IPL 2025 season approaches, franchises are strategizing for the upcoming IPL mega auction, and Suryakumar Yadav has emerged as a potential captaincy candidate. Suryakumar is likely to leave Mumbai Indians after last year’s captaincy debacle, when MI decided to bring Hardik Pandya back from Gujarat Titans to hand him over the captaincy. On that note, let us check out 3 teams that might target Suryakumar Yadav for IPL 2025.
Teams likely to target Suryakumar Yadav for IPL 2025
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
RCB has historically struggled to find consistent leadership, and while Virat Kohli has been a stalwart, the franchise has lacked the final push to secure an IPL title. With Faf du Plessis nearing the twilight of his career, RCB needs a dynamic leader who can inspire the squad and bring fresh tactical insights.
Suryakumar Yadav fits this bill perfectly. His aggressive batting style and ability to handle pressure make him an ideal candidate to lead a team filled with stars like Kohli and Glenn Maxwell.
Kolkata Knight Riders
A viral claim on social media has created a buzz among cricket fans. According to the claim, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have approached Suryakumar Yadav with an offer to captain the team in IPL 2025. Suryakumar has been an integral part of the Mumbai Indians (MI) squad since 2018, and KKR is reportedly interested in acquiring him through a trade.
Punjab Kings
PBKS is another franchise that has frequently changed captains, looking for the right combination to lead them to glory. Despite having a strong squad, inconsistency has plagued them, and a captain like Suryakumar Yadav could be the solution they need.
