When the retention list for IPL 2025 came out, one of the biggest shocks for the KKR fans was not seeing their IPL winning captain Shreyas Iyer on the list. However, now KKR CEO Venky Mysore has come out and stated that Iyer was first name on the franchise’s list but things did not pan out the way he would have wanted.
In an interaction with RevSportz, Mysore said, “Shreyas Iyer was the first name in our retention list. However, the retention process isn’t a one-way street. It is not just about the franchise. It is also about the player wanting to be retained, to continue with the franchise. Of course Shreyas was the first name in our list. He was the skipper. That’s why we got him in 2022.”
“However, there are often things that you don’t control. If a player wants to test his market value, and the auction is the best marketplace to do that, it is always fair to let him to do so. That’s what we at KKR have always believed in, and have backed our players. At a personal level, I share a very good rapport with Shreyas, but it is also true he should have the freedom to decide.” Mysore added
