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.

CSK (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Five-time champions, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), are one of the most successful franchises in the history of the Indian Premier League, but the last season was not very good for them. In 2022, Ravindra Jadeja was appointed as the new captain in place of MS Dhoni, but the performance of the franchise was very poor that season. Jadeja left the team midway through the season and then Dhoni was reinstated as captain, but it did not help as CSK finished ninth in the points table. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, CSK won the IPL in 2023 and it was their fifth title. They were on the verge of defeat in the final against Gujarat Titans, but there again Ravindra Jadeja gave them the trophy by hitting a six and a four in the last two balls. The following year, Dhoni once again resigned from the captaincy and CSK failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second time in three years.
