Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have roped in left-arm pacer Chetan Sakariya as a replacement for Umran Malik, who has been ruled out of the IPL 2025 due to injury.

Sakariya, who has represented India in one ODI and two T20Is, brings IPL experience with 20 wickets from 19 matches.

He joins KKR for INR 75 lakh, adding depth to their pace attack for the upcoming season.

Earlier, Sakariya has joined KKR as a net bowler.
