Before the mega auction for IPL 2025, the franchise teams have started preparing their strategy. This strategy is not to win the trophy next season, but to include the star players of the opposing teams in their camp.
Meanwhile, reports are coming out that defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders have started wooing Suryakumar Yadav, the current captain of India’s T20 team.
According to the latest media reports, Mumbai Indians star batsman Suryakumar Yadav has been given an unofficial offer of captaincy by Kolkata Knight Riders. It is believed that Surya’s joining KKR will bring an X factor to the team. One of the big reasons is that he has become the captain of India’s T20 team, leaving behind Hardik Pandya. However, Shreyas Iyer fans will be disappointed with Surya being made the captain of KKR, because under his leadership the team won the IPL 2024 title.
It is also being claimed in the report that if Surya accepts KKR’s offer, then KKR can trade him with MI. At the same time, the team can trade Surya with Shreyas Iyer. If this happens, it will be a surprising decision. At the same time, Surya’s departure can be a big setback for Mumbai Indians.
It is worth noting that Suryakumar Yadav and Jaspreet Bumrah were being seen as the next captain of Mumbai Indians after Rohit Sharma, but the team has broken the hearts of both fans and players by giving this responsibility to Hardik. At the same time, due to Hardik being made the captain, the Mumbai Indians camp has been divided into two teams. Its effect was also seen last season.
Two teams ready to make big bids for Rohit Sharma
There is also news that Rohit Sharma may leave Mumbai Indians. If this happens, Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants are ready to place a big bet on Rohit. Delhi Capitals captaincy may be taken away from Rishabh Pant in the next season, while KL Rahul’s departure from the Lucknow team is almost certain. That means both the teams need a captain.
