IPL 2025: KKR Sign Shivam Shukla As Rovman's Replacement
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have signed Madhya Pradesh's mystery spinner Shivam Shukla as a replacement for West Indies all-rounder Rovman Powell for the remainder of IPL 2025, the franchise announced on Sunday.
The move follows confirmation that Powell, along with England’s Moeen Ali, will not return for the rest of the season due to medical issues. "Rovman is undergoing a procedure," KKR said in a statement, as the IPL 2025 season resumed on Saturday following a brief suspension.
Shukla, 29, has limited experience at the domestic level, having played just one Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy season where he picked up eight wickets in as many matches, including a 4-29 performance against Bengal. He recently made headlines in the Madhya Pradesh Premier League, finishing as the tournament's top wicket-taker with 10 scalps, including a five-wicket haul.
