Suryakumar Yadav has been making headlines ever since his remarkable performance in the T20 World Cup final. Now, cricket journalist Rohit Juglan has revealed that the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have unofficially offered Suryakumar Yadav the captaincy for the IPL 2025 season. If this report is accurate, it would mark a significant shift in both KKR and Mumbai Indians’ dynamics.
Suryakumar Yadav, who has been a crucial part of the Mumbai Indians for several years, could potentially move to KKR, especially since Hardik Pandya has taken over the leadership role at Mumbai. There have been speculations that Suryakumar might seek a new franchise where he could take on a captaincy role.
Additionally, Juglan suggested that Shreyas Iyer could be traded to Mumbai Indians in exchange for Suryakumar Yadav. Iyer led KKR to a title win in the 2024 season, so this move would be surprising. However, the journalist did not disclose his sources, so these claims remain speculative.
This revelation, if it materializes, could lead to major changes in the IPL landscape, affecting both KKR and Mumbai Indians’ strategies in the upcoming season.
