In a notable development, IPL-winning captain Shreyas Iyer is poised to leave the Kolkata Knight Riders, indicating a significant change for the franchise. Concurrently, recent information regarding KKR’s retention strategy reveals that Andre Russell will continue with the team, thereby circumventing a bidding conflict in the IPL 2025 mega auction and the Right to Match situation.
