‘He was number 1 in our list’, Venky Mysore explains the reason for Shreyas Iyer’s release
KKR has retained Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh. Venky Mysore and Shreyas Iyer Kolkata Knight Riders have released their captain Shreyas Iyer ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Iyer joined KKR in 2022 for Rs 12.25 crore and was made the captain. It was under his captaincy that Kolkata won its third IPL trophy in 2024. After this, several rounds of meetings took place between Iyer and the franchise, but things did not work out. After Shreyas Iyer’s release, KKR CEO Venky Mysore said that he was the number-1 choice for retention, but they could not agree on a deal. He also said that every player has complete freedom to go to the auction, so that they can earn more money. Venky Mysore told RevSportz, it is a matter of mutual consent. This is not a unilateral right of any franchisee. Players have to consider and agree on various factors. Somewhere, that agreement does not happen due to various factors – be it money or any other reason. He was at number-1 in our list. He was the captain, so everything has to be built around leadership. In the end people have the freedom to take their own decisions – Venky Mysore He further said that, we had selected him in 2022 and unfortunately he got injured in 2023. But as soon as he arrived, he was handed back the captaincy. We made it clear that when you come back, this will be your team. He was an integral part of the team and did a wonderful job. I have a personal relationship with him, but at the end of the day people have the freedom to take their own decisions. They decide what is good for them and which direction to go. Market value is also an important aspect. Let us tell you that on Thursday, October 31, KKR announced the retained players, in which KKR has retained Rinku Singh, Sunil Narayan, Varun Chakraborty, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh for IPL 2025.
I think Sundar can be seen performing well for Team India in the Test series against Australia: Simon Doull
The five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22. Washington Sundar (Photo Source: Getty Images) Team India’s best all-rounder Washington Sundar has been performing very well in international cricket for some time and many people have praised his bowling. Recently, former player Simon Doull has given a statement that Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja should handle the spin bowling attack in the five-match Test series between Australia and India starting from November 22. Currently, Team India is playing a three-match Test series against New Zealand. Even though Washington Sundar did not participate in the first Test match played in Bengaluru, yet the young player is the highest wicket-taker in this series. He has taken 15 wickets in three innings so far. In the Pune Test, Sundar bowled brilliantly and completely destroyed New Zealand’s batting lineup. After the end of the first day of the third Test between India and New Zealand, Simon Doull told the broadcast, ‘I am looking forward to seeing the art that Washington Sundar has shown and his explosive performance in the Test series against Australia. . He has kept the New Zealand batsmen silent with his excellent spin bowling and the young player can prove to be quite lethal against Australia as well. Team India should not play in Australia with 4 fast bowlers: Simon Doull The former player further said, ‘According to me, Team India should play with its 5 best bowlers in the upcoming Test series against Australia. Out of these 5 bowlers, three should be fast bowlers and two should be Jadeja and Washington Sundar. I would like to say that you should not go to play in Australia with four fast bowlers. The five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22. The first match of this important Test series will be played in Perth. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then they will have to win this series against Australia.

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.
