The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will host all 10 team captains and managers of the Indian Premier League 2025 sides on March 20 (Thursday). The meeting will be held at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai and will last about an hour.
“During this time, the teams will be informed about the new additions and changes for the upcoming season. The briefing will be followed by sponsor activities at the Taj Hotel,” Cricbuzz wrote in its report.
After the sponsored activities, the event will end with the customary captains’ photo shoot before the start of every season. This season, the opening match will be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata between defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
Usually the event used to take place in the city where the opening encounter would be played. However, this time around, changes have been made, indicating that there might be more in store than just meet and greet.
Here are all the 10 captains of the IPL teams
Hardik Pandya (MI), Pat Cummins (SRH), Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK), Rajat Patidar (RCB), Rishabh Pant (LSG), Shreyas Iyer (PBKS), Sanju Samson (RR), Ajinkya Rahane (KKR), Axar Patel (DC) and Shubman Gill (GT).
