Ajinkya Rahane is now the captain of KKR. It is actually a bold move. Here, we take a look at the list of three players who will be impacted the most by Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy appointment at KKR.
1) Rinku Singh
Ajinkya Rahane is likely to play at No.3, so Venkatesh Iyer will be at No.5. Therefore, Rinku Singh might be delayed in the batting order.
KKR will avoid too many left-handers coming back to back. Therefore, Rinku Singh might play at No.6 or even lower.
2) Angkrish Raghuvanshi will be affected by Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy appointment at KKR
Angkrish Raghuvanshi is one of the players who will be impacted the most with Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy appointment at KKR. The 20-year-old will now not get a lot a chances to realize his potential.
Rahane’s presence will directly block his development. At least the No.3 slot will not come straight to the Mumbai youngster in IPL 2025.
3) Manish Pandey
Yes, that’s right! When KKR signed both Ajinkya Rahane and Manish Pandey, many felt that one of these two could get a job as an Impact Player.
Now that Rahane is the captain, Angkrish will have a better chance. Manish is in a crucial phase of his career. Not getting frequent games will not help him.
