Kolkata Knight Riders Team Insights

Kolkata Knight Riders will enter IPL 2025 with a target on their back as the defending champions. While KKR were able to maintain most of their core a big question mark surrounding them is captaincy. 

They will be without their IPL winning captain Shreyas Iyer who parted ways in the mega auction. Ajinkya Rahane is replacing Iyer as the captain however given his form in T20s, doubts loom large over Rahane. Additionally, there's a lack of opening depth after losing out on opener Phil Salt. 

KKR IPL 2025 squad:

Ajinkya Rahane (c), Rinku Singh, Quinton de Kock, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Venkatesh Iyer, Ramandeep Singh, Andre Russell, Anrich Nortje, Harshit Rana, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakaravarthy, Vaibhav Arora, Mayank Markande, Rovman Powell, Manish Pandey, Spencer Johnson, Luvnith Sisodia, Anukul Roy, Moeen Ali, Umran Malik.

Lucknow Super Giants Team Insights

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) head into the IPL 2025 season with a formidable batting lineup but will undoubtedly miss the services of Marcus Stoinis, who was a key player for them in previous editions. However, the addition of Rishabh Pant, who has joined LSG as their captain, adds a new dimension to their squad.

Pant, known for his fearless stroke play and aggressive leadership style, will look to bring his explosive energy into the LSG setup. His presence alongside the hard-hitting Nicholas Pooran and seasoned campaigner David Miller gives LSG incredible depth and power in their middle order. Both Miller and Pooran are known for their ability to finish games in style, making the LSG batting unit one of the most dangerous in the tournament.

Rishabh Pant (C), David Miller, Aiden Markram, Aryan Juyal, Himmat Singh, Matthew Breetzke, Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmad, Yuvraj Chaudhary, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Arshin Kulkarni, Ayush Badoni, Avesh Khan, Akash Deep, M Siddharth, Digvesh Singh, Akash Singh, Shamar Joseph, Prince Yadav, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, Ravi Bishnoi
