The KKR think tank is considering different options to replace Shreyas Iyer. He has been announced as a takeover by the new franchise, Punjab Kings. Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh are already the frontrunners at KKR for the captaincy. They both impart their leadership in the domestic circuit and have been indispensable for the KKR side. Ajinkya Rahane has bulk experience under his wings and so is left in the discussion as he is possibly a great option since his form in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy was sound enough.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)
RCB could name Virat Kohli as skipper of the team, as he has done great work in IPL regarding captaincy. He has captained the side for 9 years, led them to the Finals in 2016, and has been one of the most successful captains of the tournament. But also the team may think of other options, like Phil Salt, England T20I skipper.
Delhi Capitals (DC)
DC can think of making KL Rahul the captain after purchasing him in the auction. As Rahul has proven his leadership in the international circuit, which overshadows even the IPL wins. However, the option is open to thinking about players like Axar Patel, who played well enough to even get the responsibility of vice-captaincy in the Indian T20 squad against England.
