New Delhi. There are less than 10 days left for the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League to start. Most of the teams participating in IPL 2024 are ready with full preparation. Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad will field with a new captain. But there are three teams whose captaincy is not clear. These include Lucknow Supergiants, Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals.
This time many new captains are going to be seen in IPL (Indian Premier League). Whereas Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant are going to return to their team as captains. Both Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant could not play in the IPL last year due to injury. This time both the players are fit. Despite this, the fitness of both can trouble their teams.

Shreyas Iyer is the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders. He is certain to play in IPL 2024, but Iyer not fielding in the Ranji Trophy final has raised many questions. Shreyas Iyer did not field in the last two days of the match. It is being told that he was suffering from back pain, hence did not come out for fielding. It is believed that the management of Kolkata Knight Riders may give rest to Shreyas Iyer in the initial matches as a precautionary measure. Last year, when he was unfit, Nitish Rana captained Kolkata.

Lucknow Supergiants may also be troubled by the fitness of captain KL Rahul. KL Rahul was out of the India-England series due to injury. After undergoing treatment at NCA, he returned to Team India, but could not play the match due to injury. After this he had to undergo treatment again. There has been no update on his fitness in recent times. There is no doubt that Lucknow Supergiants management is keeping an eye on Rahul’s injury. Perhaps he is also preparing a plan that if KL is unable to play some matches due to injury, then who will captain in his place.
Rishabh Pant being fit is a great news for Delhi Capitals. In his absence, David Warner captained Delhi Capitals in IPL 2023. Now that Rishabh Pant is fit, he can be given back the captaincy. But there is a catch in this. It is also being said that Rishabh Pant can be used as an impact player. If this happens then Pant will only do batting and not wicketkeeping. In such a situation, it is possible that David Warner remains the captain.
