Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are reportedly considering trading their captain Shreyas Iyer to Mumbai Indians in exchange for Suryakumar Yadav for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, according to RevSportz journalist Rohit Juglan.

It all depends on Suryakumar Yadav's decision. If India's T20 captain decides he no longer wants to play for Mumbai Indians, fans could see him leading Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2025, with Shreyas Iyer potentially making his debut in the MI jersey. However, there's also a possibility that SKY might stay with Mumbai, in a different capacity.
