5 Players KKR might retain ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction, no Rinku Singh

Shreyas Iyer could be the first name on their list having led admirably well to win the trophy this season.

Sunil Narine has still got it in him having won the Most Valuable Player award. He scored 488 runs and picked 17 wickets this season.

Andre Russell wasn't required much with the bat. But he proved his mettle with the ball picking up 19 wickets and bowled mostly at the death.

Mitchell Starc was the most expensive player in IPL 2024 as KKR had got him for 24.75 crore. He picked up 17 wickets this season and won player of the match awards in Qualifier 1 and final.

Varun Chakaravarthy is one player who has delivered consistently for KKR over the last few years. He picked up 21 wickets in IPL 2024 ending as the second highest wicket-taker.

Venkatesh Iyer might turn out to be the surprise pick among all these players thanks to his immense contribution with the bat. He scored 370 runs this season including a fifty in final.
