The team had entered the auction with a purse of Rs 51 crore. The goal of the franchise was to buy top players in a limited budget, in which the team was successful. KKR bought Venkatesh Iyer for Rs 23.75 crore. Besides, they also got players like Umran Malik, Manish Pandey, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali and Spencer Johnson at cheap prices. Kolkata does not have Shreyas Iyer, under whose leadership the franchise became champion last season. But overall the team’s squad is quite good. Meanwhile, cricket commentator Aakash Chopra says that the biggest strength of KKR in the upcoming season (RRR) is Rinku Singh, Andre Russell and Ramandeep Singh. He also emphasized that the middle order of the team is tremendous. Akash Chopra said this about KKR’s batting lineup While talking in the video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, There is a lot of depth in his batting. They are explosive. They have RRR. Ramandeep is now an Indian player and he has also matured. So Rinku, Russell and Ramandeep are your three batsmen who can bat at numbers four, five and six. This number four, five and six could be one of the better numbers 4 to 6 in the league. Apart from this, Venkatesh Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi are also there. That’s why there is a lot of power in batting. He has done this work very well. He has continued what he did last year. Last year, Shreyas Iyer had a very small role in batting. Of course, he contributed as captain. Although they do not have Shreyas, Nitish Rana and Phil Salt, RRR have depth and explosiveness in the batting. No one can hit Varun and Sunil – Chopra Aakash Chopra also described spinners Varun Chakraborty and Sunil Narine as Kolkata’s strength for the upcoming season. He said, “His spin bowling. It is the same as last year – Varun Chakraborty from one end and Sunil Narine from the other. This is your mystery spin bank of eight overs. Nobody is able to read these spinners or hit them. Everyone struggles against them.”
‘Sex is very common in cricket…’, KKR’s Abhishek Nair made a big statement in the interview, said; There is so much pressure that…
Kolkata Knight Riders assistant coach Abhishek Nayar played an important role in the title fight of IPL 2024. KKR won the title by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final held in Chennai last month. After this victory, Varun Chakraborty and Venkatesh Iyer praised the veteran cricketer. Nair played an important role in the return of Dinesh Karthik not only in the IPL but also in the T20 World Cup team in 2022. Abhishek Nair recently appeared on YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast show. During this interview, Nair was surprised by a question. In the podcast, Ranveer asked him if it is appropriate for athletes to have sex as there is a common belief that it affects their performance. What did Abhishek Nair answer to Ranveer’s question? Abhishek Nair answers this question very frankly. Speaking about this, he reiterated the statement of Brazil’s Ronaldo Nazario. The Brazilian legend, who inspired the team to the 2002 FIFA World Cup title, was asked after the victory whether a better performance was seen from him because of sex. To this the footballer replied: “I have had sex many times before matches. It helps to concentrate while playing. But all coaches advise you not to have sex before the match. I realized that in some matches I was able to play better because I had sex before.” Speaking on ‘The Ranveer Show’, Nair was initially surprised by the anchor’s question. Let’s see what actually happened between the two Anchor: One last topic, sex in cricket? Is sex a factor in the lives of athletes? Nair: Are you asking this in a positive or negative way? Because you have asked this question very openly. Yes, it is a factor in the lives of athletes too. Which person can survive without it? But is it good or bad? Is that your question? Or is your question how much sex?’ Anchor- I want to answer that, but I also want to see what you actually answer. Abhishek Nair- “Having sex is a simple thing. But it is also different for everyone. There is a constant conflict going on in every cricketer’s mind. Some like it while others avoid it. Some believe that not having sex increases energy, which allows them to focus more on the game. Some people have sex and feel that nothing has changed for them, everything is normal. So it is a very personal matter. There are no rules for this. The truth is that different things work at different stages of life. No one feels bad but sometimes there is so much pressure that one wants to enjoy openly.” Abhishek Nair commented openly on many issues like this question. He shared some cricket memories and also narrated stories of Rohit Sharma’s training and his practice.

The secret of KKR’s success is this mantra of Gautam Gambhir, such things happen in dressing
Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Gautam Gambhir: The current season of IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 has been very profitable for the two-time IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders. Kolkata Knight Riders are at second place in the points table with 6 points. KKR has played 4 matches out of which they have won 3 and lost 1. The credit for Kolkata’s dominance is being given to Gautam Gambhir. Before the start of the season, the team had brought in former captain Gautam Gambhir as the team’s mentor and it is fair to say that his appointment has been beneficial to an extent.
