"Taxing On...": KKR CEO On Picking Ajinkya Rahane Over Venkatesh Iyer For Captaincy
Kolkata Knight Riders CEO Venky Mysore revealed the reason behind choosing Ajinkya Rahane as the skipper of the defending champions instead of going with their record-signing Venkatesh Iyer. Before the captaincy announcement, there were speculations about Rahane and Iyer being the front-runners for the captaincy. The Madhya Pradesh all-rounder wasn't among the list of retentions and appeared in the mega auction. KKR broke the bank and had to shell out a whopping Rs 23.75 crore to bring him back to the franchise.
