KKR is reportedly interested in making Suryakumar Yadav their captain for IPL 2025. To make this happen, they have proposed a trade with Mumbai Indians. KKR’s current captain, Shreyas Iyer, would move to Mumbai, while Suryakumar would join KKR. This potential swap could shake up both teams ahead of the new season.
KKR seems eager to bring Suryakumar’s experience and aggressive style into their leadership. If the deal goes through, it could be a game-changer for both franchises. However, final decisions will depend on how both teams negotiate this complex trade.
IPL 2025: KKR Have Approached Suryakumar Yadav To Become Their Captain
KKR clinched the IPL 2024 title under Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy, marking a significant achievement for the team. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians made a bold move by bringing back Hardik Pandya and giving him the captaincy. This decision didn’t sit well with senior players like Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah.
Both players felt overlooked and are now considering requesting a release from the franchise ahead of the next season. Their potential departure could shake up MI’s squad dynamics, and it’s clear that the team’s leadership choices will have lasting consequences.
After Rohit Sharma retired from T20Is following India’s T20 World Cup 2024 win, Suryakumar Yadav stepped in as the new captain. In his first series as T20I captain, he guided India to a 3-0 victory against Sri Lanka, showing his leadership skills early on.
He also led India to a 4-1 series win against Australia and managed a 1-1 draw in South Africa. Suryakumar has quickly established himself as a capable leader, and his successful start suggests a bright future for India in T20Is under his captaincy.
