Chennai Super Kings
As CSK acquired ace all-rounder and England Test captain Ben Stokes at the IPL 2023 Mini Auction in Kochi, they largely fixed their concerns. Super Kings spent Rs 16.25 crore to acquire Stokes. Stokes just took home the T20 World Cup trophy in Australia. He currently captains the Three Lions in tests after already retiring from ODIs. His concentration is still on just two formats as he wanted to give himself a rest in a cricket-filled schedule.
For a very long time, Dhoni has been looking for a capable captain to take over. He made an attempt to give Ravindra Jadeja a chance in the previous season, however after a bad performance in the early IPL 2022 matches, Jadeja returned MSD’s captaincy. Dhoni now has a potential leader for the four-time IPL champions in Stokes.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
SRH now have three captaincy options in the lineup, including Mayank Agarwal, with the retentions of Aiden Markram and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. While Mayank Agarwal in the Ranji Trophy will be attentively watched by SRH, Markram is the favourite to lead. Since Mayank is in poor form, SRH are not going to make the same mistake of selecting an ineffective Kane Williamson as captain. After the Ranji Trophy, SRH management will make a decision on the captaincy.
Brian Lara, the SRH coach, was hesitant to name a new skipper despite the signing of Mayank. SRH splurged a lot of money on former Punjab Kings captain. Last year, the former opener for Punjab Kings captained the team until being released. As captain, nevertheless, his performance at Punjab fell drastically. It is unclear if SRH will accept the risk of doing so. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Aiden Markram are further candidates for the franchise.
Punjab Kings
Shikhar Dhawan has been confirmed as the new captain of the PBKS in IPL 2023. In the 2023 season of the lucrative league, Dhawan will take the place of opener Mayank Agarwal as the captain of the Punjab-based team. Before the IPL 2022 season began, Indian opener Mayank Agarwal was named captain of the Punjab-based team.
Agarwal, a standout player for the Punjab Kings, and pacer Arshdeep Singh were retained on by the team before to the auction for the 2023 season. Prior to the IPL 2022 season, Dhawan, who had enormous success with Delhi Capitals (DC), was released by the Rishabh Pan-led side. Punjab Kings acquired the veteren Indian opener at the mega auction for a staggering INR 8.25 crore.
