<p>Punjab Kings are still looking for their first trophy, under the coaching of Australian Trevor Bayliss, the team failed to perform well in IPL-2024 as well. The team won only five out of a total of 14 matches while they had to face defeat in nine matches.</p>



<p>According to reports, the franchise can appoint Sanjay Bangar as the head coach of the team. Bangar was the head coach of Punjab in IPL 2014-16, and currently he is the director of cricket development. Well, the franchise has not yet reached any decision on who will be their head coach, it is being speculated that the franchise can decide after the IPL-2025 mega auction.</p>



<p>After the successful tenure of the Indian coach, all the franchises are busy searching for an Indian coach for their team. The Indian team winning the World Cup under the coaching of Rahul Dravid, and the Kolkata Knight Riders becoming champions in IPL-2024 under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir are examples of the success of Indian coaching.</p>



<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore has also appointed its former player Dinesh Karthik as the head coach of RCB after his IPL retirement.</p>

IPL 2025 Auction Highlights Day 2, Purse Value and Big Name Who Remain Unsold

ipl-2025-auction-highlights-day-2-purse-value-and-big-name-who-remain-unsold

<p>The much-awaited Indian Premier League 2025 is all set to begin on March 14 and will be played until May 25. It will be another action-packed season of the world's biggest cricket league. Kolkata Knight Riders won the last edition, beating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final.</p>
<p>Interestingly, the IPL 2024 winning captain, Shreyas Iyer, has parted ways with KKR and joined Punjab Kings. Iyer has been officially announced as the PBKS captain for the IPL 2025. Now, it is time for the current champion to make the much-needed announcement and reveal who will lead the team in this title-defense season.</p>
<p>The franchise has a number of options to choose from and has retained the core groups. But they have also signed some great names at the IPL 2025 mega auction. So, who will be the one to lead the defending champions? Below, we will talk about three such names that will lead KKR in the IPL 2025.</p>
<h2>Three potential leaders that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) might look at to lead the team in the IPL 2025.</h2>
<p><strong>3. Venkatesh Iyer</strong></p>
<p>Venkatesh Iyer made history as KKR broke their bank to get back the all-rounder. The franchise spent a record-breaking sum of INR 23.75 crore, making it their biggest purchase ever in history. That indicates how important Venkatesh is for the team. And why not?</p>
<p>He struck two great fifties in the Qualifier and final last season to help the team win. The southpaw gives an explosive opening option who has been with the team since 2021. He was groomed by KKR and can be the one to lead them forward in the IPL 2025.</p>
<p><strong>2. Ajinkya Rahane</strong></p>
<p>KKR made a steal deal when they bagged former IPL captain Ajinkya Rahane for a price of INR 1.5 crore, whcih was his base price. That was a really smart move as Rahane comes with a different skill set. He can bat at the top and has experience of leading the IPL franchise. He was also with KKR for 2022 and played seven matches for them.</p>
<p>Rahane has the experience of leading Rajasthan Royals and Rising Pune Supergiants in this IPL career. He has also led India at the highest level. Not just this, he is the captain of his side at the domestic level and proved it time and time again. That's where KKR can opt to go with his experience and make him the captain.</p>
<p><strong>1. Sunil Narine</strong></p>
<p>Some fans might not know that Sunil Narine is a captain of the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the ILT20. Narine was the key reason that KKR won the last season, as he performed exceptionally well with bat and ball. He has been the main stakeholder for the franchise when it comes to performance in the IPL.</p>
<p>With his consistency, he has become the core part of the team. Hence, he gives the franchise a great captaincy option for the IPL 2025 and can be the one to lead the team in the coming season.</p>
