IPL 2025: 2-time champion Kolkata Knight Riders is ready to enter the field with the intention of winning their third title in IPL 2025. Last time also KKR performed brilliantly and captured the title. This time too, many world star players are present in KKR. Former Indian player Aakash Chopra has selected his best playing XI for IPL 2025, in which he has given a chance to 4 dangerous players.

These names are included in the opening batsman

Akash has given a chance to Sunil Narine and Quinton de Kock as opening batsmen. Both are foreign players and are experts in giving a fast start. Sunil had scored a lot of runs for KKR last season. Apart from this, de Kock is also known for aggressive batting in the beginning.

These batsmen got a chance in the middle order

Ajinkya Rahane has got a chance at number 3. Rahane is also the captain of KKR. Apart from this, Akash has included Venkatesh Iyer at number 4. Iyer is the most expensive player of KKR. Venkatesh also scored a lot of runs in IPL 2024. Rinku Singh and Andre Russell have got a chance in the lower middle order. Both the players have been making a splash at this number for KKR for many years. Rinku and Russell are excellent finishers who can change the course of the match at any time. Apart from this, Akash has given a chance to Ramandeep, who wreaked havoc with his batting last season.
