Mumbai Indians have plenty of star players like Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav or Ishan Kishan. One of them can be given the captaincy. But KKR’s situation is not like that…

Tim Southee and Shakib Al Hasan are the only ones who have some captaincy experience in the Kolkata Knight Riders team. But can these two lead the team successfully in IPL? It’s hard to say…

But will KKR announce a surprising player as their captain for the IPL 2023 season? It became doubtful. In KKR’s practice match, Rinku Singh scored 89 runs in 37 balls. Kolkata made a post about this on Insta…
A netizen commented ‘Lord Rinku Singh’ and KKR replied ‘Our new captain’. Deleted it soon after. But this comment is already going viral in the form of screenshots on social media…
Rinku Singh has not even played a single international match. Moreover, he was restricted to the reserve bench for most of the IPL. Rinku from Uttar Pradesh has played 30 first catch matches and 41 list A matches.

KKR has plenty of experienced players like Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Lukey Ferguson, Umesh Yadav, Shardul Thakur. Leaving aside all such people and giving the captaincy to Rinku Singh is a big adventure…
Will KKR do such an adventure? Or just a publicity stunt? It will be clear soon. There are rumors that Shreyas Iyer’s injury is not that serious and he will recover by the time of IPL.
