IPL 2025: Shreyas Iyer’s Future with KKR in Doubt Following Rival Offers
As the IPL 2025 retention period approaches, Kolkata Knight Riders are keen on keeping their captain, Shreyas Iyer. However, there are rumours that other franchises have approached him with substantial offers, casting doubt on his future with KKR.
With the IPL 2025 season approaching, teams are actively strategizing their rosters and retention plans. The Kolkata Knight Riders have been in talks with their captain, Shreyas Iyer, about retaining him for the upcoming season. However, reports indicate that rival teams have approached Iyer with lucrative offers, creating uncertainty around his future with KKR. As a result, while the franchise hopes to keep its skipper, the competition for his services could lead to his departure, making the upcoming retention decisions even more critical for the team.
As the reigning champions of IPL 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders are keen to secure their captain, Shreyas Iyer, who played a pivotal role in their success. A source close to KKR co-owner Venky Mysore indicated that the franchise plans to present an attractive retention offer to Iyer ahead of the mega auction scheduled for November. With the rival team trying harder to acquire the services of Shreyas Iyer, he might plan to leave the franchise.
On the fan page of KKR named KKR Vibe, Nagraj Gollapudi, the close sources of Venky Mysore stated that:
I think there’s at least a very strong offer from another rival franchise, which has apparently given him a massive number, which will be paid in whatever fashion. There will be other offers coming up since he is the IPL-winning captain.
As the Kolkata Knight Riders aim to keep their captain, it will be intriguing to observe the decision Shreyas Iyer makes before the IPL 2025 auction.
