RCB And KKR New Captain IPL 2025: Complete preparations have been made for the 18th season of the Indian Premier League i.e. IPL 2025. However, there are many teams which have not yet announced their captain. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are also included in this list. A big update has come out regarding the captains of these two teams.
First let’s talk about KKR. A few days ago, news came that Kolkata Knight Riders can make Rinku Singh their captain in the upcoming season. This news surprised everyone. However, later the story changed regarding the KKR captain. Then another new news came. This time it was said that Ajinkya Rahane would be made the captain. Both times the news came quoting sources. Now a new claim has been made in a new report. According to the latest report, Venkatesh Iyer will be the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2025. KKR had spent a huge amount in the auction to buy this all-rounder. KKR had bought Venkatesh Iyer for Rs 23.75 crore.
Now let’s talk about RCB. When RCB released Faf du Plessis before the auction, it became clear that now the team will field with a new captain. Then after a few days the news came that once again Virat Kohli will take charge of RCB. However, neither Virat nor the franchise said anything about this. Meanwhile, another news came. This time it was said that RCB will buy KL Rahul in the auction at any price and make him its captain. This claim also proved to be completely wrong. Now a new update has come. The latest report says that RCB will appoint young player Rajat Patidar as the captain. Rajat Patidar is captaining Madhya Pradesh in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy. Under his captaincy, MP performed brilliantly and entered the semi-finals. Now Madhya Pradesh will face Delhi in the semi-finals on 13 December. If Rajat helps his team win the title, then it will be almost certain that he will become the captain of RCB.
