No place for Shreyas Iyer in KKR

In the history of IPL since 2008, this has been the first time ever that an IPL defending captain hasn’t been retained by his side. Reports claimed that Shreyas Iyer demanded a retention price of 30 crore which KKR didn’t want to give. As a result, the side parted ways with him.

KKR decided to retain Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarthy, and uncapped stars Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh.

In the IPL Mega Auction, KKR will be keen to target a captain. And that could well be Rishabh Pant. The former Delhi Capitals captain too had a fall out with his side and wasn’t retained. In fact, Rishabh Pant will be the most sought player in the upcoming auction.
