Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have emerged as one of the top contenders in the IPL 2024, with their resurgence under the mentorship of Gautam Gambhir. As the mega auction approaches, KKR might consider releasing players deemed less impactful. Here are five players who could potentially be let go by the franchise.
1. Nitish Rana Nitish Rana, once a key figure for KKR, has seen limited opportunities this season, possibly indicating a shift in the team’s plans.
2. Andre Russell Despite being a stalwart for KKR over the years, Andre Russell’s age and fitness might lead to a rethink about his role in the team’s future.
3. Mitchell Starc While Mitchell Starc brought excitement with his acquisition, his performances haven’t quite matched expectations, possibly making him a candidate for release.
4. Manish Pandey Manish Pandey’s absence from the playing XI could signal KKR’s willingness to explore other options, potentially leading to his departure.
5. Rahmanullah Gurbaz After an impressive debut season, Rahmanullah Gurbaz has struggled for game time in IPL 2024, raising doubts about his future with KKR.
