Rahane led KKR in IPL 2025, but after finishing eighth, the team might look for a new captain for IPL 2026. Here are three players who could take the role.
Cameron Green’s all-round ability and fearless approach make him an exciting choice. His leadership potential could give KKR a fresh, youthful direction.
Sanju Samson has grown as a captain with Rajasthan Royals. His attacking intent and composed presence could bring the spark KKR need in pressure moments.
KL Rahul’s captaincy experience and calm nature make him a strong option. His tactical mindset and consistency could help KKR bounce back in IPL 2026.
Ajinkya Rahane scored 390 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 147.72. Despite his steady batting, KKR managed only 12 points from 14 matches, finishing eighth.
KKR’s new captain could play a big role in rebuilding the team’s balance, improving consistency, and guiding them toward a stronger IPL 2026 season.
