IPL 2025 Mega Auction: KKR retained Rinku Singh for Rs 13 crore, Indian player changed his residence, bought this luxurious bungalow
According to reports, Rinku Singh’s new address will be Kothi No. 38 in The Golden Estate, Ozone City.

He bought this bungalow when Kolkata Knight Riders retained the best player in their team. Let us tell you that Rinku Singh’s performance has always been very good in international cricket and this brilliant player has left his mark in the Indian Premier League also. Rinku Singh was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018 for his base price of Rs 80 lakh. Rinku Singh played only 10 matches in the first three seasons. However, before IPL 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders have retained him for Rs 13 crore. Team India now has to tour South Africa for a four-match T20 series and before this series, Rinku Singh has shifted to a new house with his family. According to reports, Rinku Singh’s new address will be Kothi No. 38 in The Golden Estate, Ozone City. This house is built in 500 square yards.

Rinku Singh looked out of form in the Indian Premier League 2024 but now he can be seen performing brilliantly once again in the upcoming season. Kolkata Knight Riders consider Rinku Singh as one of their most important players and that is why he will look to perform well in the upcoming edition as well. However, before this, Rinku Singh will have to make valuable contribution to the victory of the Indian team in the South Africa tour also. The 4-match T20 series between India and South Africa is starting from 8th November. In this period, the captaincy of Team India has been handed over to Suryakumar Yadav who himself is in excellent form at the moment.

‘It would have been nice to have been in the list’, Venkatesh Iyer expressed pain over not being retained in KKR
KKR released some key players, including Venkatesh Iyer, ahead of the 2025 season Venkatesh Iyer. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Kolkata Knight Riders did not include Venkatesh Iyer in their retention, even though the all-rounder has played an important role for the team in the last three seasons, especially in 2024. He scored 370 runs in 15 matches last season, in which Shreyas Iyer’s team won the title. KKR defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final. At the same time, before the 2025 season, KKR released some key players, because according to the rules only six players can be retained. KKR preferred Rinku Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh. Now Venkatesh Iyer has reacted to KKR’s retention. He said that he would have liked to be in the retention list, but he understands KKR’s strategy. He described KKR as his home and favorite IPL team and expressed hope that he would play for them again in the 2025 season if selected in the auction. KKR’s retention has been very good – Venkatesh Iyer Speaking to RevSportz, Venkatesh said, KKR’s retention has been very good. I think he has covered 14-16 overs easily and with the bat he has covered about five positions. So, they had pretty good retention, but I would have loved to be on that list. KKR has given me a big opportunity and I have given everything for KKR and beyond cricket. There is also something called emotion. “This is a family,” he said. There are a lot of emotions. It brings tears to my eyes to see that my name is not in the retention list, but I am a practical person. I understand how it works. I was one of the players retained in 2022 and I know how it feels to be retained and left out. So, I think KKR have done brilliantly, I am really happy about it. I would love to be there and the doors are open. If my auction goes well, I will probably play for the team I like the most.
The former cricketer did not like MS Dhoni being retained under the uncapped player rule, said a big thing.
CSK guys did a great job with this trick – Mohammad Kaif MS Dhoni (Photo Source: Getty Images) Chennai Super Kings have retained MS Dhoni as an uncapped player for just Rs 4 crore. This saved CSK from spending a huge amount. Now former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has commented about IPL after the review of uncapped player rule. On Thursday, October 31, the IPL franchises submitted the list of their retained players. Dhoni was retained by CSK for just Rs 4 crore, a deduction of Rs 8 crore from the previous season. And this could happen because the IPL Governing Council brought back the uncapped player rule, whereby any player can be retained by the franchise in the uncapped category for only Rs 4 crore. Let us tell you that uncapped players are those who have not played for India in the last five years and Dhoni last played for India in July 2019. Dhoni was a perfect fit under this rule and the franchise retained the Men in Yellow legend in the uncapped category without any hesitation. He has saved Rs 10-15 crore – Mohammad Kaif Whereas Mohammad Kaif said on Jio Cinema, CSK has played really well. He has saved Rs 10-15 crore. I think the way this rule was brought back was because we were driven by emotions, and we all really wanted MS Dhoni to play another year. I think CSK played very smartly there. Yes, he is charging less money, but that will allow CSK to buy big-name players in the auction. He further said that, I think whichever player plays for India, I was 36 years old when I last played an international match for India. Now if I am dropped from the team but I perform well in the IPL, I should not come under the uncapped player rule. This should be for those players who have not played any international match yet. CSK people have done such a great trick. And he played it very well, as we all got emotional getting the chance to see Dhoni for another year in the IPL. I think CSK should get the benefit of buying two additional players in the auction.

Apart from this, he praised all the retained players. Venky Mysore said, ‘We wanted to retain 10 or 11 players because everyone’s performance has been excellent. It was very difficult for everyone to choose 6 of these because the players have won the hearts of all the fans by performing tremendously for the Kolkata team. Sunil Narayan has been with us for 12 years and Andre Russell has also been with the team for 10 years. Varun Chakraborty has also performed well for Kolkata Knight Riders for a long time and everyone knows about Rinku Singh very well. Harshit Rana has also bowled brilliantly for the team for 3 years and Ramandeep Singh has left his mark after joining the team last year. I think this is the best combination.
