Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have suffered a huge setback before IPL 2025 as their speed sensation Umran Malik has been injured and ruled out of the competition. The pace bowler who had been signed up by KKR for INR 75 lakh in the IPL 2025 Auction had been looking forward to playing for the side and learning from bowling coach Bharat Arun. However, an unfortunate injury has now kept him out of action.
Instead, KKR has brought in left-arm seamer Chetan Sakariya who comes into the team. Sakariya who remained unsold in the IPL 2025 Auction has experience with 19 IPL matches to his credit, with 20 wickets claimed by him. He has also played one ODI and two T20Is for India, picking up two wickets in international cricket.

This sudden shift follows after KKR also went through a few other changes, one of which saw the exit of last season’s title winning skipper, Shreyas Iyer. Without him, KKR has handed over the leadership to Ajinkya Rahane for IPL 2025. KKR will begin their campaign against Royal Challengers Bangalore at Eden Gardens on March 22. The franchise will be hoping Sakariya to replicate the same energy and performance which was anticipated from Umran Malik, adding more punch to their pace attack for the upcoming season.This sudden shift follows after KKR also went through a few other changes, one of which saw the exit of last season’s title winning skipper, Shreyas Iyer.
