KKR IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders, one of the most successful teams in IPL history, has dropped its trophy-winning captain from the team. KKR has released Shreyas Iyer ahead of IPL 2025 and this season Shreyas is going to be seen playing for Punjab Kings.
Ever since Iyer has left this team, there have been discussions about who will take the responsibility of leading this team in IPL 2025. So let’s try to know who can be the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2025.
Who will be the captain of KKR?
Let us tell you that this is going to be a big question that who will be the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders, because this team is the defending champion and there is going to be a lot of pressure on this team to defend its title. Currently, Venkatesh Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane, Sunil Narine and Rinku Singh are in the race for KKR captaincy. But till now the team owners have not made it clear who will be given the responsibility of captaincy.
According to fans and many cricket experts, the responsibility of captaincy should be given to Rinku Singh or Sunil Narine. However, Venkatesh Iyer has also recently expressed his desire to captain. In such a situation, if the management wants him to become the captain, then he can also be seen captaining. But in our opinion, this team can make Ajinkya the captain, because Ajinkya’s captaincy record has been good and he has a long experience.
Ajinkya Rahane can become Captain
Ajinkya Rahane has captained not only in IPL but also in international cricket and under his captaincy, the Indian team has achieved the feat of defeating a big team like Australia in the Test series in Australia, which no other Indian has been able to do after Virat Kohli.
It is known that Ajinkya Rahane has captained 25 IPL matches so far and during this time his team has won 9 matches under his captaincy. Whereas he had to face defeat in 16 matches. However, during that time his team was seen losing the match due to being very weak. But this season the KKR team is looking very strong, due to which this team can easily win the match.
