???? IPL 2025: KKR’s Ramandeep Singh Wants to Open After Batting at No. 9 vs MI ????????


Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are off to a rocky start in IPL 2025, and their latest performance against Mumbai Indians (MI) didn’t help. In what turned out to be a crushing 8-wicket defeat, KKR were bundled out for just 116 runs. But amidst the gloom, Ramandeep Singh emerged as a surprise bright spot ???? — and he has a bold request for the team management.


???? Ramandeep Singh’s Surprise Knock at No. 9

  • ???? Came in at No. 9, an unusual spot for a potential power-hitter

  • ⚡ Scored 22 off just 12 balls, the second-highest score for KKR

  • Only Angkrish Raghuvanshi (26 off 16) scored more

Despite coming in so late, Ramandeep showed intent, aggression, and clean striking, giving KKR a tiny boost when they desperately needed it.


???? “I Want to Open” – Ramandeep’s Bold Statement

      ✦  Speaking at the post-match press conference, Ramandeep Singh clearly expressed his desire:

      ✦  "Main toh chahta hu mujhe open kara de."

      ✦  (“I want to open the batting. I always try to bat up the order.”)

      ✦  While his tone was light-hearted, the message was clear — he believes he can contribute more if given the chance at the top.


???? Team-First Attitude

      ✦  Despite his personal wish, Ramandeep emphasized he’s a team player:

      ✦  “Wherever the team gives me an opportunity, I try to do well and become a match-winner.”

      ✦  ???? That’s the kind of mindset every franchise looks for!


???? IPL Mega Auction & KKR’s Current Struggles

      ✦  From being defending champions to sitting at the bottom of the table, it’s been a tough ride for KKR so far.

      ✦  Ramandeep highlighted a major reason:

  •                          ???? “Mega auctions are disheartening. You lose combinations you worked hard to build.”

  •                          ???? Frequent squad reshuffles are hurting consistency


But he added with hope:

“That’s no excuse. We’re working to find our winning combination.”


???? Quick Match Recap: KKR vs MI

  •       ✦  ???? KKR: All out for 116

  •       ✦  ???? MI chased it down with 8 wickets to spare

  •       ✦  ???? Bright spots: Raghuvanshi (26), Ramandeep (22), but the rest crumbled



???? What’s Next for KKR?

With only one win from three games, KKR need to restructure their batting order, and maybe… just maybe… it’s time to give Ramandeep a go at the top!

He’s hungry, confident, and willing — the traits of a potential IPL breakout star ⭐
