Kolkata Knight Riders Celebrate Everyday Heroes with Shahoshi Rani Initiative During IPL 2025

Kolkata Knight Riders Honor Inspiring Women in IPL 2025

In the upcoming IPL 2025 season, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will pay tribute to everyday heroes through their remarkable Shahoshi Rani initiative. This campaign aims to recognize women who have demonstrated exceptional courage, resilience, and determination in overcoming challenges.

On May 7, these extraordinary women will be celebrated as KKR faces off against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Eden Gardens. This event symbolizes KKR's commitment to strength, inclusivity, and inspiration within the realm of sports. As part of the initiative, 40 Shahoshi Ranis will participate in a KKR practice session, where they will witness the team in action, engage with players and coaches, and meet franchise co-owner Juhi Chawla.

To further honor these women, KKR players will don jerseys featuring the Shahoshi Rani logo on their backs. Each player and support staff member will carry the name of a Shahoshi Rani alongside the logo, creating a personal connection between the team and these inspiring figures.

KKR will also document the practice session, capturing moments of interaction between the players and the Shahoshi Ranis. These highlights will be shared on the team's digital platforms, spreading the powerful messages of courage, unity, and women's empowerment beyond the stadium.
