Apart from this, the captains of many teams can also be seen changing. Shubman Gill may have to lose the captaincy of Gujarat Titans. Apart from this, the captaincy of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) can also be taken away from IPL 2024 title winner Shreyas Iyer.

Gujarat Titans (Shubman Gill)

Punjab Kings (Shikhar Dhawan)
