KKR picked Ajinkya Rahane for his base price of Rs 1.50 crore at the auction and has now appointed him captain, with Venkatesh Iyer as his deputy. The defending champions will open the tournament with their clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on March 22. KKR would be itching to start strong under their new captain Rahane, who brings a wealth of experience with him.
