Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Retention Strategy
Trending
KKR have decided to majorly overhaul their squad. They've been in this situation before though, famously getting rid of Sourav Ganguly and appointing Gautam Gambhir as their skipper. This time around they've left him out and retained their foreign contingent. The exclusion of Manish Pandey and Kuldeep Yadav were surprising as well.
Retention
Andre Russell
The Jamaican all-rounder was impressive during his stay at KKR and has all the ingredients of a successful T20 all-rounder.
Approx. Value: 5 Cr. To 8 Cr.
Retained: 7 Cr.
Sunil Narine
The Trinidadian spinner has been Kolkata's mainstay for some time now. Now that he has also become an explosive opener, there was no way KKR weren't going to retain him.
Approx. Value: 5 Cr. To 8 Cr.
Retained: 8.5 Cr.
