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.

MI can retain these players including Hardik, Bumrah – Harbhajan Singh made a big prediction
The performance of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024 was very disappointing. Hardik Pandya, Harbhajan Singh and Rohit Sharma. (Image Source: Instagram) Team India’s former veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has asked which players can Mumbai Indians (MI) retain before the mega auction of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season? Discussed this. Mumbai India’s performance in the last three seasons was not good. Rohit Sharma was the captain for two seasons and Hardik Pandya was the captain last season, but the team still could not perform well. Now what will be the team’s strategy for the next three years? This will be decided by what decision the team takes in retention. However, meanwhile, Harbhajan expressed uncertainty about the franchise retaining former captain Rohit Sharma. However, he stressed that if the team decides to retain the fourth player, Rohit’s name should undoubtedly be there. Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement regarding MI’s IPL retention. Harbhajan Singh said in the Star Sports show, “Mumbai Indians is a team which has not performed well in the last two-three years. MI has been a champion team, a very good team, and as far as I know, they will definitely be thinking about building a team for the future, but that doesn’t mean they won’t add experienced players this year. . Last year they made Hardik Pandya the captain and I think he will definitely be retained. Jasprit Bumrah will also be retained and Suryakumar Yadav will also be retained.” Bhajji further said about Rohit Sharma, “However, the question is whether Rohit Sharma will be retained? He has just won the World Cup as captain, so I think he should be retained, and he will be retained. This will make four players and if there is a fifth player, then Tilak Verma will be retained. Tilak Verma is one of those players who will be very useful in winning matches for Mumbai Indians in the future.” He further said, “Talking about bowling, I don’t think they would like to retain anyone else apart from Bumrah, so Nehal Wadhera can be a good option for them as an uncapped player. That is why he should be selected.”
‘Players were overconfident’ Basit Ali after India’s historic Test series defeat against New Zealand
New Zealand has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the Test series. Basit Ali (Image Credit- Twitter X) A three-match Test series is currently being played between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ). So, by winning the second match of this series in Pune by 113 runs, New Zealand has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the Test series. This is the first time that New Zealand has won a Test series in India. With this, India’s streak of winning 18 Test series at home since 2012 was also broken. On the other hand, on this shameful defeat of Team India against New Zealand, former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has given a big reaction. Basit says that Indian players were overconfident. Basit Ali gave a big reaction on India’s defeat Let us tell you that after the defeat in the Test series against New Zealand, Basit Ali said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – India winning the Test match against Bangladesh in two days and New Zealand losing 2-0 in Sri Lanka. Team India must have felt that they would easily defeat New Zealand. Basit further said- This means that the Indian management and the Indian players were overconfident. New Zealand did their homework, as they had nothing to lose. No one would have thought that the Kiwi team would be able to defeat India. Even New Zealand themselves might not have thought of something like this, but they did their homework and won the series. On the other hand, if we tell you about this Test series, now the third and last match of the ongoing series between the two teams will be played at the historic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from November 1. It will be worth seeing whether Team India is able to make a comeback in this match after losing the first two matches of the series or not?
