Overview

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are the defending champions of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) and aim to replicate their form from last season. They have appointed Ajinkya Rahane as their new captain, replacing Shreyas Iyer, and have retained most of their core players. However, some key names will not feature in their squad. Quinton de Kock and Anrich Nortje have been brought in, along with old faces Rovman Powell, Manish Pandey, and Anukul Roy. New faces, including mentor Gautam Gambhir, will also be aiming to leave an impact. KKR won their third IPL, with Gambhir making a memorable return after leading the franchise to two titles.
