IPL Auction 2025 is held in Jeddah. A total of 577 players participated in this auction. Among them, 182 players bid. All teams have completed their lineups. Talking about Kolkata Knight Riders, they have completed their lineup with 21 players this time. This time, the KKR team placed the highest bid of Rs 2,375 crore and included Venkatesh Iyer in its squad.
Who will be the team’s new captain?
Kolkata Knight Riders look very strong this time around. However, they are yet to buy captain Shreyas Iyer, who helped the team win the title last season. Shreyas Iyer will be playing for Kings XI Punjab this time. Under such circumstances, the biggest question is which player will be the captain of the team this time. If we look at the KKR team, there is no visible player who can captain the team. It will be interesting to see which player captains the team now. Venkatesh Iyer is believed to be leading the race for captaincy.
