Shreyas Iyer (Shreyas Iyer) under the leadership of Kolkata Knight Riders won the title by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final of the Indian Premier League 2024. However, despite this, KKR can make some big changes before the upcoming season. Actually, according to media reports, it is believed that KKR is going to change its captain before IPL 2025.
According to TOI report, Kolkata Knight Riders franchise wants to retain their captain Shreyas Iyer, but Shreyas is not included in their first retention pick. He wants the team's star all-rounder Andre Russell in the team as his first retention. Not only this, according to reports whether Shreyas will be the captain of the team or not is also not decided at the moment.
Let us tell you that last season, the mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders was Gautam Gambhir, who has now become the head coach of Team India. Abhishek Nair and Ryan ten Doeschate, who were part of the coaching setup with him, have also parted ways with KKR. In such a situation, it is clear that many changes are going to be seen in the franchise. However, it will be interesting to see whether the franchise retains Shreyas Iyer and offers him captaincy or not.
It is worth noting that if Shreyas Iyer is not satisfied with KKR's offer, then it is also possible that he himself decides to separate from the franchise and joins another franchise through mega auction. In such a situation, it will be very interesting to see whether KKR allows Captain Shreyas Iyer, who made the team champion, to leave the team easily or not.
