On the other hand, RCB have a good bowling line-up, unlike the previous years. Hence, it will be interesting to watch them play in the tournament. Their batting is sorted as always, so this season might be their season to lift the trophy once and for all. Virat Kohli has etched his name in the history of the tournament by playing for the same team for 18 years.
Sunil Narine praises Shah Rukh Khan for his support during IPL
KKR's star all-rounder, Sunil Narine, praised the co-owner of KKR, Shah Rukh Khan, ahead of the IPL 2025. The player mentioned that the Bollywood star is extremely down to earth and has turned the atmosphere into a positive space for the players.
"The way he talks to everyone, he is very down to earth, and loves everyone in the team. I think he is one of the best owners you could ask for. He just gives you all freedom to play cricket. Whether you win, lose or draw, it is the same Shah Rukh Khan," said Sunil Narine during a pre-season press conference.
