Shreyas Iyer’s Decision to Enter Auction and KKR’s Response

Venky Mysore, the CEO of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), recently revealed that Shreyas Iyer was at the top of their retention list, highlighting the franchise’s keen interest in keeping him on board. However, the retention process requires agreement from both parties, and it hinges on the player’s interest in continuing with the franchise. Shreyas Iyer opted to participate in the auction, a move that would enable him to gauge his market value. KKR respected his decision and granted him the liberty to explore his options.
