Leader Online Desk: Only one week left for the start of the 17th (IPL 2024) season of IPL. All the teams are ready to win. This season many teams will enter the field with new captains. But, Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals are the three franchises who are worried about who to lead their team. Only a few days are left for the competition. Who will be the captain of these three teams? Fans are curious about it.
Two players will return as captains in IPL 2024 (IPL 2024). One is Shreyas Iyer and the other is Rishabh Pant. Both of them missed the IPL last year due to injuries and could now make a comeback as captains in this season of the league. But, what will be their role? Questions are being raised on this. This is due to the fitness of both. Shreyas Iyer is the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR Captain). It is certain that he will play in IPL. But, before that he played the Ranji Trophy final for Mumbai. He also scored 95 runs in the second innings. But, during this time, his old back injury flared up again. For this reason, he did not field on the fourth and fifth days of the Ranji Trophy final. He was taken to hospital for a back scan. That means questions have been raised about his fitness.
Iyer's (shreyas iyer) fitness tension for KKR
Last year too Nitish Rana took charge of KKR when Shreyas Iyer was unfit and this year too the news of his injury before the start of the league has added to the team's woes. Similarly, it has been reported that he will not be seen playing in the opening matches of this season. Therefore, KKR will have to find a new captain in the absence of Iyer (kkr shreyas iyer).
Pant (rishabh pant) will lead Delhi or not?
The good news for Delhi Capitals is that Rishabh Pant is fit. In such a situation he can be entrusted with the captaincy. But, it is not yet clear whether he is fit enough to face the pressure of IPL matches. There are also reports that the franchise may use him as an impact player without putting extra pressure on Pant. If this happens, Pant will be seen playing only as a batsman. As a result, like last year, the leadership of Delhi may be handed over to David Warner again.
KL Rahul's fitness is also a question mark
The fitness of Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul (LSG Captain KL Rahul) has also been questioned. He was ruled out after the first match of the Test series between India and England (IND vs ENG) due to injury. After this he moved to NCA to work on fitness. After recovering, he returned to the team. But, injury problems resurfaced and he rushed straight to London for treatment. Hence, he was not part of Team India for the remaining four matches of the series against England. Now the question is, if Rahul doesn't recover from his injury, who will lead the Lucknow team (LSG IPL 2024) in his place?
