Endearing BTS clips from Captains Day event ahead of IPL 2025 [Watch]

All 10 skippers for the upcoming IPL season were in Mumbai for the captains day event on Thursday, March 20. During the meeting, there were a couple of rules discussed that could reportedly be implemented in the upcoming season.

Prior to the start of the tournament, all captains gather for a picture with the glittering IPL trophy. Last season's IPL photo shoot saw some of the regular skippers missing, with Jitesh Sharma filling in for Shikhar Dhawan, who was absent. However, all 10 skippers were present for the captains day photo this year.

A behind-the-scenes video of the same was uploaded by the official IPL account on X with a caption that read:

"𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗕𝗧𝗦 Wholesome day with the #TATAIPL Captains before what promises to be a rollercoaster journey ahead"
