Trzech zawodników KKR może zostać wybrany na kapitana w aukcji IPL 2025, jeśli nie zatrzymają Shreyasa Iyera

Kolkata Knight Riders’ champion captain Shreyas Iyer may part ways with the team, as reports suggest he might not be retained by the franchise. KKR’s mentor, Gautam Gambhir, has left to join the Indian cricket team following an impressive season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. With a shift in decision-makers, the team may be considering major changes for the upcoming season. If Shreyas Iyer is not retained, who will lead KKR? Will they aim for a new skipper in the IPL 2025 mega auction, and who would be the best fit? Let’s discuss.

3 players KKR can target as captain in IPL 2025

Pat Cummins

Pat Cummins’ captaincy has been impressive; from the ODI World Cup to the IPL 2024 season, he has been exceptional in his leadership. It is unlikely that he will be released by Sunrisers Hyderabad, especially after his successful stint last season. However, if SRH decides to release him due to other retention priorities, KKR should consider approaching him in the auction, as he would be a great asset to the team.

KL Rahul

KL Rahul doesn’t get enough credit for being a good captain. However, he has led his team, Lucknow Super Giants, to the IPL playoffs twice. He contributes with the bat and can also serve as a wicketkeeper-batter. According to reports, he will be available in the auction, and KKR could consider him as a captain for the IPL 2025 season.

Rohit Sharma

Which team wouldn’t want Rohit Sharma in their lineup? If KKR is considering a captaincy change, Rohit could be an ideal option. With five IPL titles, he’s a seasoned leader with the skills to bring out the best in a team. Rohit is also seeking a new team where he can apply his leadership experience. KKR might consider acquiring him as their new captain in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
