With the IPL 2025 season set to kick off on March 22, KKR and Delhi Capitals are the only teams yet to announce their captains.
KKR parted ways with their title-winning captain Shreyas Iyer prior to the auction, who was subsequently picked up by Punjab Kings for a record ₹26.75 crore, making him the second-most expensive player in IPL history. Shreyas will assume the captaincy for Punjab in the upcoming season.
Recently, KKR all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer expressed his readiness to take on a leadership role with the defending champions. Venkatesh, who was acquired for ₹23.75 crore during last year's mega auction, believes that captaincy is merely a title and that any player can positively impact the team.
The Kolkata Knight Riders will face off against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the season opener on March 22 at the renowned Eden Gardens.
