Los Kolkata Knight Riders han conseguido una enorme bolsa de 32,7 millones de dólares en la subasta de la Indian Premier League (IPL) de 2024.
The defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) demonstrated in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction that with a clear vision and determination, you can win the tournament. KKR took an unorthodox approach in the IPL 2024 auction, overhauling everything: they revamped the management, released most of the players, and changed the captaincy.
Players that were retained by KKR in IPL 2024
KKR retained 12 players in the Indian Premier League. Notably, they released the highest number of players ahead of the auction and entered with a large purse of Rs.32.7 crore. This allowed them to acquire Mitchell Starc for Rs. 24.75 crore during the auction.
Shreyas Iyer was retained as captain after missing IPL 2023 due to injury. While Nitish Rana was also retained, the chances of keeping him this time are slim. The IPL 2023 sensation was retained by the team for Rs.55 lakhs. One of the smartest decisions was retaining Harshit Rana, who was their second-highest wicket-taker.
