Rinku Singh set to replace Ajinkya Rahane as KKR captain mid-IPL 2026: Report ...Middle East

The Kolkata Knight Riders did not make a promising start to their campaign in IPL 2026, as they started off with two consecutive losses. They lost their first match in the season against the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium.

Ajinkya Rahane's captaincy has faced much criticism in this edition of the competition. After two consecutive losses in the competition, the KKR veteran might be asked to step down from his role anytime soon.

Rinku Singh has been considered for the role. Rinku was seen leading the KKR team during the second innings of the game against MI, when KKR failed to defend a massive score of 220 runs.

KKR struggling under Ajinkya Rahane

The Kolkata Knight Riders appointed Ajinkya Rahane as the replacement skipper after Shreyas Iyer was released ahead of the season in 2025. Rahane captained the franchise, and the defending champions finished an awful season in eighth position with just 5 wins.

As KKR's skipper, Rahane has lost a record 56% of the games, as he has lost 9 of the 16 matches, while managing to win only 5.

Should Rachin Ravindra be picked in the KKR XI?

With just 20 runs with the bat and not a single over bowled, many have suggested that he should be benched until he resumes bowling. Instead, KKR could pick Rachin Ravindra, who is an ideal all-rounder and could help sort KKR's spin bowling woes in the middle phase.
