KKR Announced Ajinkya Rahane As Captain

Both teams have added some much needed firepower in the IPL 2025 mega auction and the focus will be on Rishabh Pant who has been named as LSG's captain for the upcoming season. Pant has emerged as the most expensive player in IPL history and the onus will be to end his team's prolonged IPL title drought. On the other side, KKR announced Ajinkya Rahane as their captain and the Indian batter will be very eager to prove his mettle in the shortest format once again. KKR defeated the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 final to lift their 3rd IPL title and they are now the second most successful teams in IPL history.
