KKR Retained & Released Players 2025: See the list of retained and released players of Kolkata Knight Riders here
Defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had earlier expressed to the BCCI officials their desire to retain as many core players as possible. During a meeting on 31 July, the Sunrisers Hyderabad management also said the same thing, but IPL officials allowed each team to retain a maximum of six players, one of whom must be an uncapped Indian cricketer. KKR had to face a lot of problems in their retention for the final as their aim was to retain the key players. Since the BCCI made the IPL retention rules official, the management has interacted with the players several times, trying to understand their thought processes and at what price they are interested in being retained. BCCI said in the plan that the first retention will earn Rs 18 crore, after which the second and third retention will earn Rs 14 crore and Rs 11 crore respectively. But the rule that came after this had a different twist. The twist was that the fourth retention would get Rs 18 crore and the fifth retention would get Rs 11 crore. The uncapped player can be registered for Rs 4 crore. With Harshit Rana not making his debut, it was clear that the team management would retain him as an uncapped player, but there were a lot of doubts about the other players, especially captain Shreyas Iyer. But at the last moment he surprised everyone by retaining Andre Russell.

“People give credit to Rishabh Pant but the real hero of 2021 BGT win was Pujara” – Tim Paine’s surprising statement
Cheteshwar Pujara & Tim Paine (Photo Source: Former Australian captain Tim Paine recently opened up about how important Cheteshwar Pujara’s role was in India’s memorable 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy win. Paine said that Pujara played the most important role in that series win but people still give his credit to Rishabh Pant. In the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, after suffering a humiliating defeat in Adelaide, India, without their regular captain Virat Kohli and several key senior players, made a spectacular comeback and won the series 2-1. On the 2020-21 Australia tour, Team India won the last Test match of the series, which was played at the Gabba ground, by three wickets, in which Rishabh Pant played the match-winning innings. That innings of Rishabh Pant was recorded in the pages of history. Pant is considered the hero of the 2020-21 Australia vs India Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but former Australian Test captain Tim Paine has a different opinion about it. He believes that because of Cheteshwar Pujara, Team India had captured the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy. The player who won the series for India in the last series was Cheteshwar Pujara – Tim Paine Tim Paine said on the Grade Cricketers podcast, ‘From what I remember, a lot of people talk about Rishabh Pant, in the last series in Australia, but the man who won the series for India was Cheteshwar Pujara. He had demoralized us and our fast bowlers. He was continuously getting the ball hit on his body, but was getting up again and again. It still has its place in Test cricket. Let us tell you that in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Pujara may not have scored a century, but he spent a long time at the crease, and tired the Australian bowlers. Pujara had scored 271 runs in the four-match Test series, of which 77 was his best score. Whereas Rishabh Pant had scored 274 runs in the series.
“This is a big series which I want to win”- Cummins wants to defeat Team India at any cost in BGT.
While being the captain of Australia, Pat Cummins has so far won the Ashes Series, World Test Championship and ODI World Cup. But he has not yet been able to win the Border-Gavaskar Test series against India and the 31-year-old fast bowler wants to include this trophy in his cabinet by defeating India in the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). The Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is starting from November 22 and the first match of the series will be played in Perth. Winning the Test series against India is a big thing. Pat Cummins wants to achieve this. The upcoming five-match Test series is going to be very exciting. Pat Cummins is yet to have the experience of winning a Test series against India, be it at home or away. This is a big thing I want to accomplish – Pat Cummins Australia has not won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the last 10 years. In such a situation, this is a sequence which the Australian captain wants to break on home soil this year. “It’s a big thing I want to accomplish,” Cummins told AAP on Tuesday. Especially winning at home. “Most Australians, including myself, expect us to perform well whenever we play at home.” He further said, “We have lost the (last) two series against India (in Australia), so this is a big thing. We feel like our team is in really good shape, so we have no reason not to perform really well. I always hope that we perform well against whoever we play, but there is pressure to perform well against India. “That makes it a big year and a big season.” Pat Cummins believes that there will be pressure on the Australian team. “I think whenever a team is under pressure, it is not a bad thing if you are playing against them, but they have played here before and done well. Our job is to keep them calm, see what we do.”
“I am very desperate to play right now” – Ishan Kishan said about his return to Team India
Ishan Kishan (Photo Source: There was a time when wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan was an important part of India’s limited overs set-up. Even though he was not able to be a part of the playing eleven, his name was always in the squad. But in the last one year things have changed a lot. He has been out of the Indian team for a long time. He played his last international match 11 months ago. Ishan Kishan decided to take a sudden break from the South Africa tour in December 2023. Since then Ishaan did not return to Team India. Besides, Ishaan was also dropped from his central contract by BCCI. However, Ishaan is now desperate to return to international cricket once again. Ishan Kishan is desperate to make a comeback in Team India After being out of Team India for the last one year, Ishan Kishan said that he has learned a lot in this time. Ishan Kishan told Times of India, “I am very desperate to play at the moment. Whenever I get a chance, I will thrash the bowlers. I will play with full force. I am very desperate to play international matches. I know what happens in team meetings when someone returns to the team. There is light banter and I am very excited about those things too. Whenever I get a chance, I will play with all my might.” The wicketkeeper further said, “I have matured a lot in the last few months. The way I look at this game now, my perception is very different from before. The laughter and jokes will continue. But now I know where to stop so that it doesn’t hinder my game. I am now moving forward with a more mature mindset and the break has taught me a lot about this. “I am having the best time of my life.” 26-year-old Ishaan is part of the India A squad for the Australia tour. He recently caught the attention of BCCI by playing some excellent innings in Duleep Trophy and Ranji Trophy. If Ishaan manages to perform well for India A on the Australia tour, then he can make a comeback in international cricket soon.

“Rohit is a great captain” – His friends came out in support of Hitman
India has lost the Test series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian team is currently trailing 2-0 in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. India had to face defeat in the home Test series after 12 years. After the loss of this Test series, Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is continuously being criticized. In such a situation, Shikhar Dhawan has come forward in support of Rohit and shown sympathy. Rohit Sharma’s friend and former opening partner Shikhar Dhawan does not consider New Zealand’s defeat as a matter of concern. Dhawan believes that it is unfair to question Rohit after losing just one series. He told India Today, “We do not feel the pressure you are talking about. Although there is pressure in the game, we are not affected by victory or defeat. It’s part of the game.” Shikhar Dhawan gave a big statement in defense of Rohit Sharma Shikhar Dhawan defended Rohit, saying, “I think this is neither a fair nor a practical approach to anything.” India had to face defeat against New Zealand by 8 wickets in Bengaluru and by 113 runs in Pune. With this, India’s streak of winning 18 consecutive Test series at home was broken. Dhawan, who retired from international and domestic cricket in August, said, “As a cricketer, we do not think like this. Rohit is a great captain. It is not just a matter of victory or defeat. The team has a bond with its captain and the team members respect him a lot.” The last Test of the India vs New Zealand series will be held in Mumbai from 1 to 5 November. India has to play five test matches on Australia tour from 22nd November. There is a high possibility that captain Rohit may miss the first one or two Test matches of the Australia series due to personal reasons. However, BCCI did not say anything officially in this regard while announcing the squad. At the same time, while giving a statement about India’s prospects in the upcoming Australia tour, Dhawan has expressed more expectations from Team India.
