The IPL 2025 remained very frustrating for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Big expectations and famous teams with the famous players have been out of the race of playoff. The 2024 champion team has disappointed his fans this time. Even in the last match of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), bowlers performed very badly and 278 runs. The team has now reached a position where hard decisions needs to be taken. Many expensive players have not been saved on expectations and no important benefits to the team. Preparing for the next season, KKR should release some of the players without any hesitation. There are 5 players who must release KKR before the next season. Kolkata spent Rs 54 crore on these 5 players but his performance has been very bad & mldr;
Venkatesh Iyer – Price ₹ 23.75 crore
Kolkata was added to the Venkata to a large amount of Rs. 24 crore. But his performance was not good with the bat, nor did he contribute to bowling. Ayar failed to impact in any match. The team will have to think about his role. Ave has scored only 160 runs in 11 matches.
Andre Russell-11 crore
A time was when the name of the Andre Russell was the fear of opposing teams, but now he seems to be over. This season, he scored only 167 runs and took 8 wickets. In Rs 11 crore, he was neither fit nor in the form.
Rinku Singh – ₹ 13 crore
Rinku Singh was returned to Rs 7 crore, but his performance continued to continue this season. Only 197 runs and failed on important moments. Giving time-time opportunities on a good season is not wisdom.
Quinton de kock- 3 crore
D Cock played only one fantastic in the season. He scored 97 against Rajasthan. But after that, he was badly flopped. He scored only 143 runs. In such a situation, release Dik Cock will be right. Kolkata spent more than Rs 3 crore on Qinities.
Moeen Ali- 2 crore
The KKR was included in the team, the KKR in England. He discouraged him. His bowling was fine, but his batting did not make a special contribution. Omar has also grown and KKR will have to find new options. Kolkata added Moon Ali in a large amount of Rs. 2 crore.
