Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has a long history with Caribbean cricketers. There are multiple cricketers, including Sunil Narine and Andre Russell, who are considered KKR legends and have been serving the franchise for multiple seasons. According to the latest claims, another renowned West Indian batter may join the Kolkata-based franchise. 

After a lackluster performance in IPL 2025, the former champion team is all set to go through a transition phase. From coaching setup to squad, multiple changes are expected in the team ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League season. As per the latest claims, Dwayne Bravo can take a big role in player selection. 

It is reported that T20I specialist Nicholas Pooran can join the multi-time IPL-winning franchise. Bravo can be a major factor behind this possible signing. Though, there is no official confirmation yet about the probable development.

Bravo can be the main catalyst behind this possible move

Dwayne Bravo joined KKR, ahead of IPL 2025, as the mentor, replacing Gautam Gambhir. Bravo's appointment did not prove fruitful for the team in the season, as KKR finished as the 8th team in the points table. In 14 matches, Knight Riders managed to win in only 5 games and suffered losses on 7 occasions. Mumbai Indians was the fourth team on the points table with 16 points, and KKR accumulated 12 points with a negative net run rate. 

Now if we talk about Pooran, he retired from the West Indies national team only to focus on T20 franchise leagues. He has been associated with the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) team Trinbago Knight Riders since the CPL 2022 season. Last season, the middle-order batter scored 426 runs in 13 matches at an average of 42.60. In IPL 2025, the swashbuckling batsman played for Lucknow Super Giants and scored 524 runs in 14 games.

Suryakumar Yadav is leading Team India in the ongoing Men’s T20 Asia Cup in the UAE. The Men in Blue beat the hosts by nine wickets in their first match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, September 10. The skipper did not have much to do as UAE were all out for just 57. He stayed not out on seven runs from two balls in the short chase.

The 34-year-old, however, could be very important for Team India with the bat in the big match against Pakistan, which will be played in Dubai on Sunday, September 14. Looking ahead, there are high hopes from the right-handed batter for the 2026 T20 World Cup. Suryakumar has a great batting record in T20Is, but he has struggled since becoming captain.

<![CDATA[Trinbago Knight Riders announce new captain for CPL 2025]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/trinbago-knight-riders-announce-new-captain-for-cpl-2025/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/trinbago-knight-riders-announce-new-captain-for-cpl-2025/ Thu, 14 Aug 2025 23:41:40 GMT

Just before the beginning of the CPL 2025, the record four-time CPL champions Trinbago Knight Riders announced their new captain. Nicholas Pooran has replaced Kieron Pollard for the captaincy role of the side. 

Pooran now become the third Trinbago Knight Riders captain, after Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard led the team in 70 and 67 games, respectively. The former West Indies white-ball captain Pooran previously experienced CPL captaincy during the 2021 edition for Guyana Amazon Warriors in 11 games, where his team recorded five wins and five losses. 

It means a lot: New Trinbago Knight Riders captain Nicholas Pooran

In the CPL 2025, Pooran will lead Trinbago Knight Riders for the first time. The Caribbean cricketer is ready for the new challenge, as he wishes to carry on the legacy of the franchise.  

Pooran said, "It means a lot, first and foremost, to represent Trinbago Knight Riders. It is a privilege that I'm getting the opportunity to lead this franchise. I want to give it my best shot, and hopefully make as many correct decisions as I can. It's a responsibility that has been passed on from Bravo to Pollard, and now to me."

Pooran also feels happy that the former captain Kieron Pollard is still playing along with Sunil Narine and Andre Russell, as their valuable experience will massively help him in his leadership growth. 
 
Pooran added, "For me, the most satisfying thing is that Pollard is still playing; Sunil [Narine] and Andre [Russell] are here too. That's a lot of experience I can bank on. To lead them on the field - it means a lot to me."

Last season, Trinbago Knight Riders were eliminated from the Eliminator round, which they qualified for after finishing the third position in the points table. While the CPL 2025 will start on August 14, the Trinbago Knight Riders will start their tournament journey on August 17 with the match against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots.

The seventh leading run-scorer in CPL history, Pooran has scored 1112 runs in 50 matches for Trinbago Knight Riders, as he is the fourth most run-scorer for the franchise.

<![CDATA[Most titles won as captain for the MI franchise across the globe]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/most-titles-won-as-captain-for-the-mi-franchise-across-the-globe/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/most-titles-won-as-captain-for-the-mi-franchise-across-the-globe/ Mon, 14 Jul 2025 15:11:08 GMT

Mumbai Indians, under the captaincy of Nicholas Pooran through the Major League Cricket 2025, have added another title to their cabinet. They now have 13 trophies in the shortest format across the globe, with some the memorable moments for the fans. In this MLC 2025, they were down and out in the group stage of the competition but made a cracking comeback in the second half. 

As Kieron Pollard, who has been a veteran member of the franchise for a long time in different tournaments, reckoned that until this franchise is down and out in the mathematical equation, no one should count them out of the tournament at any cost. And that exactly happened as the MI New York scripted a five-run victory over the Washington Freedom.

Let’s take a look at the captains of the MI franchise with the most titles across the globe.

5. Harbhajan Singh (1 title)

Harbhajan Singh was the leader of the franchise when they earned the very first edition of the Champions League T20 in 2013. They started the season with a defeat over the Rajasthan Royals before the second game saw the rain play spoilsport. However, they made two successive dominating performances with victories against the Lions and the Perth Scorchers.

In the semifinal of the event, Mumbai faced Trinidad & Tobago in Delhi. Thanks to Evin Lewis’ 62 runs in 46 balls and Yannick Ottley’s 41 unbeaten runs in 30 balls, the West Indies franchise reached 153/5 in their 20 overs. The 90-run opening stand was enough for Mumbai to script the victory, with Dwayne Smith ending with 59 in 35 balls. Later, the franchise had a walk in the park against the Rajasthan Royals in the final with a 33-run win.

 4. Rashid Khan (1 title)

After two poor seasons at the start of the SA20, the MI Cape Town decided to bring Rashid Khan as the leader of the side. And that turned their fortune straightaway. They began the 2025 season with three wins in the first five clashes. After the abandoned fixture against the Durban Super Giants, MI picked up the pace.

With an unbeaten group-stage of the event, having six victories, Rashid Khan’s army finished at the top of the points table. In the first qualifier against the Paarl Royals, MI got 199/4 and earned a victory by 39 runs. It was another cakewalk for them in the final against the Sunrisers Eastern where they got a 76-run victory.

3. Harmanpreet Kaur (2 titles)

Once the Women’s Premier League (WPL) started, many predicted MI to have another dominating time in this league. And they were right. Under Harmanpreet Kaur’s leadership, the Mumbai Indians women finished the 2023 season in second position in the group stage. They blew away the Delhi Capitals in the final with a seven-wicket win to lift the maiden trophy of the league.

It was just a carbon copy during the 2025 season, where they again finished in the second rank, thanks to five wins in eight encounters. They again met the Delhi side in the final, and this time grabbed the urn with an eight-run victory. They defended their 149 runs thanks to some superb bowling and fielding performances.

2. Nicholas Pooran (3 titles)

In two different leagues, Nicholas Pooran has won three titles overall for the Mumbai Indians. The first one came in 2023 against the Seattle Orcas when they won by 184 runs by seven wickets in hand. In this season of 2025, they defended their 180-run score as the 22-year-old Rushil Ugarkar showed his calmness in the final over.

Pooran also captained the MI Emirates in 2024, where they finished the group stage at the top with six wins in 10 fixtures. They met the Dubai Capitals in the final and defended 208/3 to win the clash by 45 runs.

  1. Rohit Sharma (6 titles)

Rohit Sharma’s captaincy and the Mumbai Indians were a fairytale story. Under him, they won their very first title of the IPL in 2013 and then continued the progress in 2015, 2017, and 2019. In this period, they produced some magical players like Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and others, who went on to help Indian cricket a lot in the future.

In 2019, they held their nerve against the Chennai Super Kings for a one-run victory. They followed the superb performance in 2020 when they ended up being the most dominant side. There was hardly any need to hold the competition as their performance was above excellence to others.

They haven’t won the IPL since 2020 and came close in 2025 when they lost the second qualifier to the Punjab Kings. But the way their young players have performed so far, the trophy cabinet is going to fill more in the coming years.
