KKR has officially announced Ajinkya Rahane as their new captain for IPL 2025. He replaces Shreyas Iyer, who led the team in IPL 2024. With this decision, KKR is aiming for their third IPL trophy.
The KKR management has chosen Rahane for his experience and leadership skills. Having scored over 4500 runs in IPL, he has been a dependable middle-order batter. He also played a crucial role in CSK’s 2023 IPL-winning campaign.
Shreyas Iyer’s future with KKR now seems uncertain. Injuries have impacted his availability, and KKR might consider releasing or trading him before the auction. Will Iyer find a new team in IPL 2025?
With Rahane as captain, KKR still has some of the most dangerous players in T20 cricket: Andre Russell – A powerful all-rounder Sunil Narine – A key spin-bowling all-rounder Rinku Singh – A reliable finisher
Rahane has prior captaincy experience in IPL, having led Rajasthan Royals in 2018 and 2019. He is known for his calm and strategic approach. Can he use this experience to take KKR to the top?
Fans have mixed reactions to KKR’s decision! Some say it’s a smart and experienced choice. Others believe KKR should have picked a younger captain.
With the IPL 2025 Auction around the corner, KKR might make more bold moves. Will they target experienced players or build a young squad around Rahane? The auction will be crucial for KKR’s strategy!
