Overview

Kolkata Knight Riders have opted for a player-first leadership model for IPL 2026, naming Ajinkya Rahane as Captain and the beloved Rinku Singh as Vice-Captain. Following a massive auction spend, KKR secured Australian superstar Cameron Green as their marquee all-rounder and brought in Matheesha Pathirana to spearhead the pace attack. With the mystery spin duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy still intact, the three-time champions are primed for another title run under the lights at Eden Gardens.
