God bless 🙏 pic.twitter.com/zGqWjim9SL — Ravi Shastri (@RaviShastriOfc) November 2, 2024 Let us tell you that the female contractor was born in Godhra, Gujarat. He made his international debut in 1955. He came into the public eye due to his brilliant inning of 92 runs played against West Indies in the 1958/59 series. His commitment to the game was seen during the Lord’s Test, in which Contractor suffered a broken rib, yet he played a strong innings of 81 runs. Career ended due to head injury In 1962, during the India vs West Indies series, he was hit on the head by a sharp bouncer and his head was fractured. After this the contractor’s career was over.

‘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.
