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.

‘This injury will only make us better,’ Gautam Gambhir breaks his silence after losing the series to New Zealand

India has lost a Test series at home for the first time since 2012. Gautam Gambhir (Image Credit- Twitter X) India has lost a Test series at home for the first time since 2012. New Zealand defeated the host team by 8 wickets in the first test. And in the second test match, we were defeated by 113 runs. In this way, Team India has lagged behind in the series by 0-2. Now, to save his credibility, he needs to win the third Test match starting from November 1. Now Gautam Gambhir has broken his silence on the disappointing performance of the Indian team. He said that he is feeling sad about losing the series. But it is expected that the players will learn from the mistakes and perform better in the third Test to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Gambhir also stressed that players should not be sad after a Test defeat, whether it is playing at home or in overseas conditions. Only that injury will make us better – Gautam Gambhir Gambhir said in the press conference before the third Test, “Obviously, it is sad. And it’s good that it’s hurting because it should make us sad. Every time you lose a game, whether at home or away, it must be sad. That hurt will only make us better. Sometimes people say that there should be no pain. But it should hurt.” He further said, “When you are playing for your country, what is wrong in being in that position? Especially for the youth, as much as it is hurting them, I am sure they will keep pushing themselves to keep getting better. Because we want to see them exactly like that. Pushing myself every day to become a better cricketer. And something special has to be done. Because if we have the results like we had in Kanpur, we can also have similar results. And take that hit and keep moving forward.” Since Gambhir became the coach, India lost the ODI series against Sri Lanka, while recently lost the Test series against the Kiwis at home. Speaking on this, Gambhir said that he never expected an easy performance in international cricket. But he wants his players to keep working hard and prepare well if the results go in their favor.
