Former India cricketer, who played for the Kolkata Knight Riders as well, also expressed his doubts over captain Ajinkya Rahane. According to Chopra, the franchise needs to be clearer with its plans.
Chopra wanted to say that if the franchise had a clear view, then they should have gone for Rahane in the auction early.
Ajinkya Rahane is likely to continue as KKR captain in the IPL 2026 season as well
Rahane is likely to remain as the captain of the team for the IPL 2026 season as well. But the former KKR is lacking confidence in him. Chopra felt that Ajinkya would prefer to bat as the opener. Sunil Narine will also be there to open the slot. So, KKR may have to deal with the batting combination if they continue with captain Ajinkya Rahane.
Why Kolkata Knight Riders should appoint Rinku Singh as the captain
Rather than Rahane, the ex-cricketer has strong beliefs about Rinku Singh. He clearly said that Rinku Singh can be a good choice for the leadership role in place of Rahane.
In the UPT20 League, Rinku Singh was the captain of the Meerut Maverics. Later, he was appointed as the captain of the Uttar Pradesh cricket team, replacing Bhuvaneshwar Kumar in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season.
