Kolkata Knight Riders to name Ajinkya Rahane as captain for IPL 2025

zeenews.india.com — December 2, 2024 at 02:01 PM UTC

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to appoint Ajinkya Rahane as their captain for the 2025 IPL season, surprising many who expected Venkatesh Iyer to take the role. Rahane was recently released by Chennai Super Kings and signed by KKR for INR 1.5 crore. Rahane's appointment marks a shift in leadership after he was removed as captain of the Mumbai team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He would replace Shreyas Iyer, who led KKR to victory in IPL 2024. Rahane has previous captaincy experience with Rajasthan Royals but had a mixed record, winning only nine of 24 matches. He has scored 4,642 runs in 185 IPL matches, with an average of 30.14.
