- In IPL 2025, KKR has 3 such players who can win any match single-handedly. The special thing is that one of these players has been a part of the team for 14 years. Let’s know who those players are.
3 Game Changer Players for KKR In IPL 2025:
The excitement of IPL 2025 is going to start soon and the last-time champion team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will enter the field with some big changes this time. The team had retained 6 players before the mega auction, but the biggest loss came when the team released its captain Shreyas Iyer, and then did not buy him in the auction. Later Punjab Kings bought Iyer for Rs 26.75 crore and made him their new captain.
This time KKR spent a total of Rs 50.95 crore in the auction and included 13 Indian and 8 foreign players in their team. This season, KKR’s fate will depend on the performance of these three stalwarts. Let’s know who these players are. Who can prove to be game changers for the team?
1. Venkatesh Iyer
Venkatesh Iyer is a brilliant all-rounder who played an important role in making KKR the champion last year. But the team released him before the auction, which was a big shock for the fans. However, KKR rectified their mistake and bought him back by spending Rs 23.75 crore. This season too, Iyer can prove to be a game-changer for the team with both his batting and bowling.
2. Sunil Narine
If any player is called the most loyal soldier of KKR, then it would be Sunil Narine. He has been associated with this team for years and has won many matches for the team with his deadly bowling and fast batting. Narine has played an important role in helping KKR win the IPL trophy three times. His spin bowling proves to be a headache for the world’s biggest batsmen. This time too, the big responsibility for the team’s victory will be on his shoulders. Sunil Narine can also prove to be a game-changer player for the team.
3. Varun Chakravarthy
Varun Chakravarthy is one of the most dangerous bowlers of KKR. He is called a mystery spinner, there are so many variations in his bowling that even the best batsmen are unable to understand his balls. Recently, he performed brilliantly in the T20 series against England and was the highest wicket-taker. He took 14 wickets in the series. He bowled brilliantly in the last IPL season as well and this time too he can prove to be an X-factor for the team.
This time there have been many changes in KKR, but the real strength of the team can be these three players, Venkatesh Iyer, Sunil Narine, and Varun Chakraborty, these three players can make the team win on their own. Now it remains to be seen how these players perform in 2025.
