Shreyas Iyer: After the end of IPL 2024, the discussion has intensified regarding the 18th season of IPL to be held next year. Because, a mega auction is to be held before IPL 2025. Due to which we will see big changes in the squads of all the teams.

While if we talk about the IPL 2024 champion team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), then this time many big players can be out of this team. Which includes the names of team captain Shreyas Iyer, Mitchell Starc and Nitish Rana. Apart from this, 5 big players can also be dropped from the team.

Shreyas Iyer may be released

Let us tell you that the KKR team became the champion in IPL 2024 under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. But even after this, Shreyas Iyer can be released from the team due to the mega auction. Because, KKR can retain three players.

The names of Rinku Singh, Varun Chakraborty and Sunil Narine can be included in it. Due to which it seems difficult for Shreyas Iyer to be retained. Shreyas Iyer can now play with some other team in IPL 2025.

Mitchell Starc can also be dropped

In IPL 2024, KKR bought fast bowler Mitchell in the auction for Rs 24.75 crore. But his performance in the IPL was not very good. Due to which now KKR can release Starc from its team.

The team cannot retain Starc for such a huge amount. Because, the team may have to face a lot of loss. Starc proved to be very expensive in IPL 2024. However, he bowled well in the playoff matches.

These 5 players can also be released along with Nitish Rana

Before the mega auction of IPL, KKR can also release Nitish Rana from the team. Because, Nitish Rana's performance with the bat has not been anything special. Apart from this, KKR can also release Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Philp Salt, Harshit Rana from the team.
