In their first game, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Eden Gardens.


Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), under the leadership of Ajinkya Rahane, will aim to kick off their campaign on a promising note. The Indian Premier League 2025 will begin on Mar 22. Last year, it was under Shreyas Iyer's captaincy that KKR won its 3rd IPL trophy. 

In their first game, Kolkata Knight Riders will play Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Eden Gardens.

The 36-year-old Rahane, who has played the majority of his international cricket in whites, has reinvented himself in the shortest format. This was evident in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy, where he emerged as the leading run-getter with 469 runs at a strike rate of 164.56.

Rahane has played for KKR in the past and the franchise bought him for his base price of Rs 1.5 crore at the mega auction.

KKR did not have too many captaincy options in the squad. Among the Indian players, they had to choose between Rahane, Venkatesh and Rinku Singh.

KKR used all six retentions to keep their core intact, Rinku Singh being the costliest at Rs 13 crore. Power-hitting all-rounder Andre Russell and spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy were retained for Rs 12 crore each. KKR retained Ramandeep Singh and Harshit Rana for Rs 4 crore each.

Apart from Rahane, some of the big names that KKR acquired at the auctions include Venkatesh Iyer (Rs 23.75 crore), Quinton de Kock (Rs 3.60 crore), and Anrich Nortje (Rs 6.50 crore).
