Former India batter Aakash Chopra says Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) should consider appointing Rinku Singh as captain ahead of the IPL 2027 auction. He frames the advice around a scenario in which KKR does not secure an overseas player for the captaincy role during the auction process.
The outlets also note that KKR is looking for a new leader as Ajinkya Rahane’s IPL career comes to an end. Both accounts mention the auction timeline and the team’s broader decision-making as it weighs retention deadlines and the possibility of adjusting its spending, including whether it should let go of expensive foreign players to better align its budget.
