The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) players have arrived in Kolkata for their final pre-season camp ahead of IPL 2025. The camp, scheduled to be held at the iconic Eden Gardens starting from March 12, will be crucial for the team’s preparation before the season opener.

Captain Ajinkya Rahane was among the first players to reach Kolkata, along with South African duo Quinton de Kock and Anrich Nortje, Indian talent Ramandeep Singh, and IPL veteran Manish Pandey. The team hotel welcomed these players as they gear up for the upcoming season.

The pre-season camp will focus on fine-tuning strategies and building team synergy under the leadership of Rahane and an enhanced coaching staff.
