Big news for Kolkata Knight Riders fans. A big claim has been made on social media that Shreyas Iyer is uncertain in the night camp ahead of the upcoming IPL auction. However, Kolkata is expected to retain three star power hitters.
The names of Sunil Narine, Andre Russell were speculated for a long time. The two West Indies cricketers were expected to be retained by Kolkata Knight Riders. The same claim is being made this time. That is, there is a strong possibility of Sunil and Russell being in Kolkata Knight Riders. If Sunil and Russell are retained by Kolkata, what will be the decision on Rinku Singh?
There are questions about whether Rinku Singh will be retained by Kolkata Knight Riders in the end. Now there is a claim on social media that KKR can finalize the retention of Rinku Singh along with the two Caribbean stars. The Kolkata Knight Riders management is expected to finalise the retention of these three as one of the three key members of the last season’s squad. However, no final announcement has been made yet.
In this situation, the question arises, will Kolkata Knight Riders not retain last season’s captain Shreyas Iyer? There are claims on social media that Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Rinku Singh can be retained by KKR. There is no claim on the possibility of retaining captain Shreyas Iyer. The same goes for his brother Venkatesh Iyer. Like Shreyas, there is a question about whether Kolkata Knight Riders will want to retain Venkatesh.
Each team in the Indian Premier League can retain a maximum of six players from last season’s team. If KKR retain Sunil, Russell and Rinku, who will be the other three players? It is being speculated that pace bowlers Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh may remain in the night camp as the uncapped players of Team India’s senior team. KKR may finalise Varun Chakravarthy’s name for the remaining slot, using the Right to Match Card rule.
