"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.

"Can't Ignore...": KKR Star Venkatesh Iyer Reflects Honestly On Rs 23.75 Crore Pricetag Pressure

Kolkata Knight Riders star all-rounder and newly appointed vice-captain Venkatesh Iyer on Thursday said he cannot ignore the scrutiny surrounding his Rs 23.75-crore price tag but is determined to fulfil his responsibilities rather than letting the weight of expectations affect him. The left-handed batter, who also bowls occasional medium pace, earned a staggering Rs 23.75 crore deal -- more than 11 times his base price -- as KKR went all-out and used their RTM card following a fierce bidding war with Royal Challengers Bengaluru to bring him back.

"Going To Be Disrespectful...": New KKR Mentor Dwayne Bravo Sent 'Message' To Gautam Gambhir. Here's Why

Charismatic West Indian Dwayne Bravo, who replaced Gautam Gambhir as mentor at Kolkata Knight Riders, on Thursday said he will mix some elements from the former KKR strategist's blueprint with his own distinct style for a successful campaign in the upcoming IPL. With Gambhir playing a key role behind the scenes, KKR won their third IPL title last season. The reigning champions have turned to Bravo ahead of the IPL 2025 season, following the departure of Gambhir who is now the head coach of the Indian team. "Unfortunately, we lost some players. But I think GG had his style, I have my style. We're both successful in our own ways," Bravo said, making it clear that while he respects Gambhir's legacy, he will bring his own methods to the role.

There are a few players with whom friendships remain strong, and Gautam Gambhir is one of them. For him, it was a big homecoming," Shah Rukh said on JioHotstar's ‘Power Play'.

Gambhir Gambhir Forces Massive U-Turn On Social Media Sentiments, 'KKR Quota' Memes Viral

Criticised time and again for backing his former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mates Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy and even Shreyas Iyer for national selection, Gautam Gambhir made the entire cricket fanbase on social media take a U-turn. Gambhir was reportedly the mind behind Varun Chakravarthy's inclusion in India's ODI squad for the ICC Champions Trophy despite the fact that the mystery spinner hadn't made his debut in the 50-over format until the England series right before the marquee event. Yet, Varun shone with the ball in the match against New Zealand on Sunday, proving why Gambhir was right to back him.
