Who will be the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2025? Everyone wants to know the answer to this question. Actually, Shreyas Iyer, who made KKR the champion in IPL 2024, is not a part of this team in the upcoming season. The franchise had released Shreyas Iyer before the mega auction. After this it was clear that now KKR will enter IPL 2025 with a new captain. Meanwhile, a new update has come out regarding the captain of KKR.
So far, claims have been made for three players to become captains from the IPL 2025 mega auction. Soon after the auction, news came that explosive batsman Rinku Singh will be the captain of KKR in IPL 2025. However, just a few days later, media reports claimed that KKR is going to hand over the command to Ajinkya Rahane. After this, news came that Venkatesh Iyer, who came into the limelight due to his price in the auction, will become the new captain of the team. Iyer was bought by KKR for Rs 23.75 crore.
KKR IPL 2025 Captain Rinku Singh
ESPNcricinfo, Rinku Singh said that his focus is not on captaining KKR for the upcoming IPL season. Rinku said that his focus is on helping his state team win the trophy. It is worth noting that this will be the first time Rinku will lead a state team at the senior level.
Rinku said, I am not thinking much about captaining KKR in the new IPL season. My focus is on my plans for Uttar Pradesh, as I want my team to regain the trophy it won for the first time in 2015-16.
Rinku Singh took over the captaincy of Uttar Pradesh in place of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Bhuvneshwar led the team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where the team lost in the quarter-finals. Earlier this year, Rinku led Meerut Mavericks to victory in the UPT20 League and scored 210 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 161.54.
