Mega auction is going to be held in IPL 2025, before which Kolkata Knight Riders will have a chance to retain 4 of their players. Today, through this special article, we are going to tell the names of those 4 players whom KKR can retain.

Shreyas Iyer

Captain Shreyas Iyer will be the first choice in the list of retained players of Kolkata Knight Riders. After Gautam Gambhir, KKR won the title of champion (after 10 years) under the leadership of Shreyas. In IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders played 16 matches out of which they lost only 3 matches. Iyer also took Delhi Capitals to the IPL final. In such a situation, KKR will not want to lose its captain and will definitely retain him.

Andre Russell

KKR will also retain West Indies' dashing all-rounder Andre Russell with closed eyes. KKR has done this before as well. In IPL 2024, Russell scored 222 runs and took 19 wickets for the team. Russell has the ability to turn the match on his own, so it is impossible for KKR not to retain him.

Sunil Narine

Like Andre Russell, Sunil Narayan is also going to be at the top of the list of players to be retained for Kolkata Knight Riders. Sunil Narayan also gives balance to the team with both batting and bowling. In IPL 2024, Narayan scored the most 488 runs for KKR and was also included in the list of the team's most successful bowlers with 17 wickets. In such a situation, Sunil Narayan will definitely be among the retained players of KKR.

Varun Chakravarthy

Varun Chakraborty, the most successful bowler of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024, is also included in our list. Varun Chakraborty took 21 wickets for KKR in the season. KKR has shown a lot of confidence in this Indian spin bowler in the past. Let us tell you that even before the last mega auction, KKR had retained Varun Chakraborty at a price of 8 crores. In such a situation, he can do the same once again.
