KKR: There is still some time left for the start of IPL 2025. But even before that, the discussion of this tournament is in full swing. Let us tell you, before the mega auction of IPL 2025, KKR had spent Rs 23.75 crore to retain a player. However, no one expected this. At the same time, after the departure of Shreyas Iyer, KKR is looking for a captain. Although earlier the names of Ajinkya Rahane and Sunil Narine are coming up. But now the news is coming that KKR has made an explosive batsman their captain. So let's know who is this player-

Since the IPL 2025 mega auction, many players were considered contenders for the captaincy of KKR. Soon after the mega auction, there were reports that explosive batsman Rinku Singh would be the captain of KKR in IPL 2025. However, a few days later, media reports claimed that Ajinkya Rahane could take over the command of KKR. After this, the news came that Venkatesh Iyer will become the new captain of the team.

Now, according to the latest report, Rinku Singh, who won a lost match for KKR by hitting five sixes in five balls, will be the captain of the team in IPL 2025. If media reports are to be believed, Rinku Singh will lead the team in place of Shreyas Iyer in IPL 2025. However, the franchise has not yet officially announced it.

The figures are like this

Rinku Singh has played 46 matches for Kolkata Knight Riders so far, in which he has scored 893 runs at an average of 30. In which he has scored four half-centuries. Rinku's strike-rate in IPL is more than 143, apart from this, he has played for KKR for six years, so KKR has more reasons to give him the responsibility of captaincy.
