This was the first mid-season signing for the KKR team in IPL 2025. Their last game washed out against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on May 17.
Shivam Shukla replaces the West Indies big-hitter Rovman Powell in the KKR squad. Powell played only two matches this season and only managed to score five runs at a strike-rate of 100.
“All KKR Players and Support Staff have arrived in Bangalore, except Rovman Powell & Moeen Ali. Both Powell and Ali couldn’t come back due to medical reasons. Rovman is undergoing a procedure, while Moeen and his family are down with a viral infection. We wish them good health and a quick recovery,” KKR management stated as quoted by the Indian Express.

Kolkata Knight Riders eliminated from IPL 2025
Kolkata Knight Riders became the fourth team after Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad to be eliminated from the IPL 2025.
They were heavily relying on their spin attack, but KKR's spin duo, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, also didn't perform well in the tournament. The defending champion will now be battling for a mid-table finish in IPL 2025.
KKR's last match of the season is against last year's runner-up Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on May 25.
