This comes as a massive development because the release of Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer will mean that the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will have to look for a new pair of leaders.
KKR retained their core from the IPL 2024 triumph, but were unable to retain skipper Shreyas Iyer, pacer Mitchell Starc, and opener Phil Salt. And the absence of these players hurt the team really badly in IPL 2025.
Meanwhile, now a RevSportz journalist has reported that KKR will part ways with Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer while retaining the services of Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Vaibhav Arora, and Varun Chakravarthy.
