This time there will be a big auction of players in IPL and many IPL franchises are considering appointing new captains. Most eyes are on Rohit Sharma, the captain who won the T20 World Cup for India, and Suryakumar Yadav, the new Indian captain of this format.
After Rohit Sharma hugged Hardik Pandya after winning the World Cup and Nita Ambani praised Rohit at Anant Ambani's wedding, it seemed that the former captain of Mumbai Indians would remain in the team. Still, the recent developments in the Indian team have changed everything. After Suryakumar became the captain of the Indian T20 team by defeating Hardik, it was clear that nothing was completely fine between Rohit and Hardik and this would not only affect Mumbai Indians but many franchises.
What will happen to Suryakumar?
If Surya has become the captain, then as much as new coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar are behind it, Rohit is also responsible for it. When BCCI decided to appoint Gambhir as the coach, Rohit's opinion was also taken before that. Rohit had given his opinion in favor of Gambhir and as soon as he became the head coach, he supported making Suryakumar the captain of the T20 format in place of Hardik.
This year, when Mumbai Indians announced to make Hardik the captain by removing Rohit, the relationship between these two players had deteriorated. Surya is considered close to Rohit. Not only this, he has also been the vice-captain of KKR captained by Gambhir.
What will happen to Pant?
Apart from this, sources have also revealed that Delhi Capitals is not very happy with Rishabh Pant and is considering whether to retain him or not. The idea of trading Pant is also going on in this team. However, the mentor and former captain of this team Sourav Ganguly is in favor of keeping Pant as the captain.
Lucknow Super Giants can also consider appointing a new captain in place of KL Rahul. RCB can also think of giving the command to an Indian in place of Faf du Plessis this time. If things don't work out between Mumbai Indians and Surya and Rohit and they part ways, then KKR and Lucknow can bet on them. On the other hand, if things don't work out between Delhi and Pant, then Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings can move forward to get this wicketkeeper. How close Dhoni and Pant are is not hidden from anyone. This year, CSK made Rituraj Gaikwad the captain after Dhoni left the captaincy. CSK could not qualify for the playoffs.
Will Rahul and Lucknow's paths separate?
The relationship between Lucknow and Rahul is no longer the same. In the last IPL season, after a match, the video of the aggressive discussion between the team owner Sanjiv Goenka and captain Rahul on the field itself became very popular. Rahul is a resident of Karnataka and RCB can bet on him. Since this time there is a big auction before the IPL and the BCCI has not yet issued the rules for retaining the players, everything will be decided only after that because the teams will make strategies accordingly.
If permission is given to retain four players including one foreigner, then the decision to keep three Indian players will be very difficult for Mumbai. All the teams will look towards preparing the team for the next five years in the mega auction.
What will Mumbai do
By winning the T20 World Cup for India after 11 years, Rohit has put himself in the category of world-winning captains like Kapil Dev and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Now it will be interesting to see what strategy Mumbai Indians will make for the big auction to be held next year. If Rohit does not show interest in retention, then what will Mumbai do? In such a situation, it will have to retain Surya, who is now the captain of India in T20. Till this IPL, Mumbai was looking at Hardik as the captain of the future, but it will be interesting to see whether it will think the same in the future as well.
