3 players KKR might retain ahead of the mega-auction
KKR defeated SRH by eight wickets to win IPL 2024.
1. Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer played a pivotal role in helping KKR win the IPL in 2024. His captaincy was on point the majority of the time, which helped the team immensely. The 29-year-old wasn’t afraid to take bold decisions, including that of handing the ball to Harshit Rana in the final over of the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens.
Iyer also had a decent outing with the bat in 2024. He made 351 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate of 146.86. He is also a terrific fielder, and KKR won’t have it easy if they let him go to the mega-auction, especially with other franchises looking for a captain.
The franchise spent INR 12.25 crore in the auction to sign the Mumbai-born cricketer in 2022 and might have spent extra to retain him for the next edition. However, the franchise is unlikely to hesitate as Iyer is an important part of the team and they might build their entire squad based on him.
