The countdown of IPL 2025 has now started. The first match of the new season of the league will be played from 22 March. However, a big revelation has been made before the first ball of IPL 2025 is thrown. This is revealed about Venkatesh Iyer, who has received 11 times more than its base in the IPL 2025 mega auction. The KKR franchise had spent up to Rs 23.75 crore to buy in the auction after not retaining the left -arm all -rounder. There was a reason behind spending such a huge amount of KKR. Venkatesh Iyer received so much money due to the advice that the pitch maker gave to KKR's head coach Chandrakant Pandit. Here we are talking about Eden Gardens Pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee.

Venkatesh's bright luck with the advice of pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee

Actually, he was Eden's pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee, who advised Chandrakant Pandit to use Venkatesh Iyer properly.

He said that Chandrakant Pandit did according to me in the last IPL season and got the result. Venkatesh Iyer performed well, Sujan Mukherjee said that now when Chandrakant Pandit met me this year, he thanked Venkatesh Iyer.

In IPL 2024, Venkatesh Iyer scored 370 runs at a strike rate of 158.79 and played an important role in the Kolkata Knight Riders' title win. Venkatesh's better strike rate was not seen in any of the previous IPL season. And, this is because Chandrakant Pandit used Venkatesh properly. In IPL 2024, Venkatesh Iyer's same Dhansu Performance was as a result that Kolkata Knight Riders were ready to overcome every dialect to buy her in the auction of IPL 2025. He decided to maintain them with himself for Rs 23.75 crore using the RTM card.
