The TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is just weeks away. The teams have already started their preparation for the upcoming edition of the tournament. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have officially announced their captain for the upcoming edition of the competition. Ajinkya Rahane will lead the side for the IPL 2026 season.
Ajinkya Rahane was named as the captain for the side in the last season, and he did not have the best time as a captain, as KKR finished 7th in the points table and failed to qualify for the playoffs after being the winner of the 2024 edition of the tournament. Rahane was the leading scorer with the bat last season for the side.
