Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has added Chetan Sakaria to the team in place of Umran Malik for the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Umran Malik is out of this season due to his injury.

Sakaria has represented India in one ODI and two T20 matches and has played 19 IPL matches, in which he has taken 20 wickets. Left -arm medium fast bowler Sakaria joined KKR for Rs 75 lakh.

Sakaria was also in the KKR team last year, but he did not play in a single match and was released by the franchise before the auction. Earlier, Chetan has been a part of Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders in addition to Rajasthan Royals in IPL. Now it will be seen to see how Chetan, who is struggling with bad form, can redeem this opportunity.
