'God's plan': Kolkata Knight Riders name Rinku Singh as vice-captain ahead of IPL 2026

NEW DELHI: Three-time champion Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday announced Rinku Singh as vice captain of the franchise ahead of IPL 2026.“God’s plan has a new chapter,” KKR posted on X.Ajinkya Rahane will lead the franchise in the upcoming season.Earlier, KKR also roped in left-arm pacer Saurabh Dubey as a replacement for an injured Akash Deep ahead of the IPL season.Dubey joins a KKR unit consisting of Pathirana, Blessing Muzarabani, Vaibhav Arora, Kartik Tyagi and Umran Malik as frontline pacers and all-rounder Cameron Green as an extra pace bowling option. In the absence of Mustafizur Rahman, released from the squad last year on instructions of BCCI, and India pacer Harshit Rana, the KKR pace attack looks heavily depleted ahead of their March 29 campaign opener.KKR will start their campaign against five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) on March 29 in Mumbai.
