KKR is out of IPL 2025. The management is likely to make some tough decisions after the season. The absence of Gautam Gambhir is felt at the franchise. Here, we take a look at the list of three bold decisions that IPL 2024 winners KKR could take after IPL 2025. Here, we take a look at the list of three bold decisions KKR could take after IPL 2025.
A few of these calls could be hard for the management to take. However, it is inevitable if KKR has to do well in this cycle of the Indian Premier League.
1) Sack Chandrankant Pandit
The domestic veteran just won the campaign a year ago. Hence, it is always a bold call to let him go. However, KKR needs some fresh ideas, and Chandrakant Pandit has not added much value, especially in discovering young talented cricketers from India.
2) Releasing both QDK and Gurbaz is one of the bold decisions KKR could take after IPL 2025
Not having a frontline keeper before you enter the Mini Auction is a risk. However, KKR must take this risk. The franchise will need to find a wicket-keeper who can bat in the middle order. This way, Rahane can bat as an opener and Raghuvanshi could come in at No.3.
3) Release both Rinku Singh and Venkatesh Iyer
It worked in the past, but at the moment, it looks like Venky and Rinku might not work in a single system, especially one that has Ajinkya Rahane as the skipper. Since both these players are on high salary, KKR could consider releasing both of them and then planning to buy back at least one of them at a cheaper price.
