Former Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Harbhajan Singh stated that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is going to face difficulties in leaving or retaining players before the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auctions set to take place next month.
Speaking in an interview, Harbhajan showered praise on KKR and said that they had dominated the previous season. He also went on to name some players who should be retained for the upcoming T20 tournament.
“KKR dominated the entire season, so it will be difficult for them to leave or retain anyone. But it’s a matter of retention, so you only have limited numbers that you can retain,” said Harbhajan.
“If I want to see or if I have to choose my 6 players, which 6 players will be there for KKR? I think Shreyas Iyer will be there, Phil Salt will be there, Narine will be there, Andre Russell will be there, Rinku Singh will be there. I will definitely want to see Rinku Singh. He should be the 5th player to be retained. And if we talk about one more player, who is the last player to be retained? It could be Ramandeep Singh. He is an uncapped player. I think he should be retained. He played very well last year and I have seen his performance in domestic cricket this year as well. So I think this 6th player, Knight Rider, will be retained,” he added.
