Now Hardik Pandya can become the captain of these 3 teams, RCB will hit 2 targets with one arrow
Before the mega auction of IPL 2025, many IPL teams are seen making big changes in their fleet. If reports are to be believed, before the 18th edition of IPL, the Mumbai Indians team is also planning to take a big decision. It is being told that the franchise is thinking of trading Hardik Pandya. In such a situation, if we talk about which team he can be seen participating in the next season, then these 3 teams are seen at the forefront.
Gujarat Titans
If the Mumbai Indians team releases Pandya before the upcoming season, the Gujarat Titans team will put in all their efforts to include Pandya in their fleet. The reason for this is his excellent performance while playing as captain for GT. Pandya captained Gujarat in the first 2 seasons. Meanwhile, the performance of the team under his leadership was quite commendable. The team surprised everyone by capturing the trophy in 2022, while it was the runner-up in 2023.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Royal Challengers Bangalore comes second. African veteran batsman Faf du Plessis, who led RCB last season, is currently 40 years old. In such a situation, the franchise is unlikely to show much trust in him this time. Apart from this, Dinesh Karthik, who has been playing the role of match finisher for the team for the last many years, has also retired from IPL. In such a situation, the team needs a match finisher along with a captain, which Pandya seems to be fulfilling completely.
Lucknow Super Giants
The third big name comes from Lucknow Super Giants. It is being told that the franchise is not happy with the captaincy of KL Rahul. This is the reason why it is looking for a new captain in the upcoming season. The Lucknow team cannot get a better captain than Pandya. He has the experience of leading Team India as well as making Gujarat the champion. In such a situation, the franchise can try its best to include him in its fleet.
