The KKR has retained four players, including two overseas cricketers, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine, spending Rs 42 crore ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) head coach Brendon McCullum has admitted that it was disappointing for the franchise to lose young and talented opener Shubman Gill. Gill played 58 matches for the KKR in the lucrative League (IPL) before the two-time champions decided not to retain him. He was later picked by the new IPL team – Ahmedabad – as their third draft pick for Rs 8 crore.
In a live session for KKR, McCullum said, “You need to plan as you’re going to lose a lot of players. It was disappointing to lose Shubman Gill. But that`s the way life is sometimes and we will be well prepared for the upcoming auction.”
