Key Players to Watch in CPL 2025
Kieron Pollard (WI) – A good finisher and former TKR captain, Pollard brings leadership and power-hitting to the side. With over 4000 T20 runs, he’s known for clutch performances in CPL finals and continues to be a match-winner, especially in pressure games.
Andre Russell (WI) – One of the best T20 all-rounders in the world. Russell delivers with both bat and ball — smashing 220+ runs and taking 12 wickets in CPL 2024. His presence in the death overs makes a huge difference.
Sunil Narine (WI) – A mystery spinner and pinch-hitter, Narine is a TKR icon. With over 100 CPL wickets and an economy rate under 6.5, he’s a powerplay weapon. He also played for KKR in IPL 2024, continuing his reputation as a game-changer.
Nicholas Pooran (WI) – A destructive left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman, Pooran was among the top run-scorers in CPL 2024 with 300+ runs and a strike rate near 145. He also starred in ILT20 and T10 leagues.
Akeal Hosein (WI) – The left-arm spinner has been TKR’s go-to bowler in the powerplay. In CPL 2024, he claimed 11 wickets at an economy rate of just 6.2. Hosein also featured in the West Indies ODI squad.
Keacy Carty (WI) – A steady middle-order batsman, Carty showed consistency in CPL 2024 with an average near 28. Also part of the West Indies ODI setup, he adds calmness to the batting lineup.
Terrance Hinds (WI) – A hard-hitting all-rounder who impressed in CPL 2024 with late-order cameos and medium-pace bowling. He adds balance and depth to the squad.

Mohammad Amir (PAK) – The left-arm seamer remains a threat with the new ball. In ILT20 2024, he grabbed 14 wickets with trademark swing and control. Amir’s ability to bowl tight overs up front will be vital.
Colin Munro (NZ) – One of CPL’s most consistent foreign performers, Munro has over 2000 CPL runs. He scored five fifties in CPL 2024 and remains a top-order mainstay for TKR.
Ali Khan (USA) – Known for his deadly yorkers and pace variations, Ali Khan has been part of TKR for years. Though he missed part of CPL 2024 due to injury, he had a strong showing in MLC 2024 and is ready for a comeback.
Usman Tariq (PAK) – An emerging spinner with a strong domestic T20 record in Pakistan. While this will be his CPL debut, he’s expected to be a supportive asset in the spin department.
These overseas stars bring spin, speed, and batting versatility to complement TKR’s strong local core.
Drafted Players
Darren Bravo (WI) – A stylish left-hander with over 1700 runs in CPL. Though he missed CPL 2024, Bravo’s experience and ability to anchor the innings make him a valuable squad member.
