The reason for Shreyas Iyer's release from KKR will surprise you, DC will bet big in the auction

Shreyas Iyer IPL 2025 Mega Auction: The retention list of all 10 teams for the Indian Premier League 2025 has been revealed. Players like Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli have been retained. So players like Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have been released. It is very rare in the game of cricket when a team becomes champion under the captaincy of a player and the captaincy is taken away from him in the very next season, but this has happened with Shreyas Iyer. Under his captaincy, Kolkata Knight Riders became the champion of IPL 2024, but KKR has released him.

According to a report by Cricbuzz, Shreyas Iyer had demanded more salary from KKR, but KKR did not want to accept his demand. This is the reason why the team has released him. Iyer was bought by KKR in IPL 2022 for Rs 12.25 crore.

If KKR is released, will he become the captain of DC?

Upon the release of Shreyas Iyer, many reports claimed that Delhi Capitals are showing interest in making him their captain. Iyer was earlier a part of Delhi from 2015-2021 and has also captained this team. Even in 2020, DC had reached the final under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. In such a situation, once again Iyer can be seen taking charge of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025, because Delhi has released Rishabh Pant.
