Kolkata Knight Riders made Ajinkya Rahane the captain of IPL 2025. But, after this decision, his condition has become such that neither is being swallowed nor spewing. This situation has been born in front of KKR due to playing eleven. Actually, after handing over the captaincy to Rahane, questions have been raised about the team's playing eleven. The question is, where will Rahane play? Akash Chopra has taken Rahane's position in KKR's playing XI very seriously. He said that as a batsman, captain, Rahane may have to deal with making a place.

KKR-report will open from Naren and Dickock

According to the report of Anand Bazar Patrika, KKR's opening slot is almost certain. It is reported that the management is in the mood to start the innings with Sunil Naren and Quinton de Kock. Akash Chopra has to think the same. Rather, he also said about the batting position of number 3 that he is an ideal place for Venkatesh Iyer. Now in such a situation, the question is, where will Rahane play again?

Where will the place be made for captain Rahane?

Since Rahane has been made the captain of the team, he will have to make his place in the team. So will the management of KKR change in its opening combination or the position of number 3. According to Akash Chopra, an option in front of KKR is that he can send it to opening with Rahane Kodicock in place of Sunil Naren. With this, the team will get the open-left opening pair. At the same time, another option will be that he should feed Rahane at number 3 in place of Venkatesh Iyer.

The option to play at number 4 for Rahane also opened

By the way, apart from both options, there is also an option and that it may be that Rahane can be seen playing at number 4 in the playing XI. It is clear that there is a lot of headache about Rahane's position in front of KKR. But, he has to do that headache. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see which number KKR decides to put Rahane.
