Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ke fans ke liye ek badi khushi ki khabar hai! Tez pacer Umran Malik ne IPL 2025 ke crucial phase ke dauraan KKR squad ko join kar liya hai, rehab aur apne “return-to-cricket” programme ke liye.
Ye development aaya hai KKR ke important clash ke just pehle, jab woh Punjab Kings (PBKS) se 26 April ko Eden Gardens mein takraayenge.
Umran Malik: Squad ka hissa, par abhi playing XI mein nahi
Umran officially squad ka playing member nahi baney hain, lekin woh team aur support staff ke saath milkar apni fitness aur form pe kaam karenge. KKR ne apne social media handle par kaha:
#UmranMalik has joined the squad in Kolkata to continue his rehab and “return to cricket” programme with KKR for the remainder of the season. He’s not joining as an official playing member of the squad, but will work with the team and support staff to get back to his best! Welcome to the family, Umran.
March mein injury ke kaaran Umran IPL 2025 se ruled out ho gaye the. Unki jagah spinner Chetan Sakariya ko team mein replace kiya gaya tha. KKR ne Umran ko Rs 75 lakh mein IPL 2025 mega auction ke dauraan kharida tha, jab woh apni purani team Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) se release hue the.
Umran Malik: Talent ke saath struggle bhi
Umran Malik ne IPL mein 2021 mein debut kiya tha, lekin injuries ne unka consistent impact banane mein bada roadblock create kiya. Ab tak woh sirf 26 IPL matches hi khel paye hain, aur poora season bas ek baar (2022 mein) complete kiya hai. Unka last international match bhi 2023 mein tha, uske baad se woh sidelines mein rahe hain.
KKR ka current form: Umeed abhi zinda hai
KKR ke liye IPL 2025 mein ab tak ka safar tough raha hai. Ajinkya Rahane ke leadership mein team apni title defence mein struggle kar rahi hai. Lekin mathematically unke paas knockout qualification ka chance abhi bhi hai. Agar woh apne sabhi remaining matches jeet jaate hain, to woh 16 points tak pahunch sakte hain.
Team ke key players jaise Andre Russell aur Venkatesh Iyer expected level tak perform nahi kar paaye hain. Lekin KKR fans ke liye abhi bhi umeed hai ki team apne crucial matches mein comeback karegi!

Toh dosto, KKR ka safar exciting mode mein enter kar raha hai – kya woh playoff ke liye qualify kar paayenge? Ya yeh season reh jaayega ek missed opportunity? Yeh dekhna abhi baaki hai!
