As per latest report CSK will have 43.20cr purse without 5cr extension which will most likely surpass KKR budget. KKR will not be able to buy Cam Green. KKR could have easily added 18 cr more but then again they can't even sack Rahane from captaincy.

Another chance of redemption for KKR. I hope KKR bring one of Josh English/Jamie Smith or Finn Allen as wicketkeeper batter.

Josh English can be a captaincy candidate as well. He already captained Australia if I'm not wrong.

From this list I'm definitely picking Josh English. 1. He's constantly playing international cricket which Finn Allen skipping. 2. Captaincy material.

Who said social media outrage don't work? My franchise is serious now.. Thank for ur service Legend.. Always be grateful.

Loyalty isn't a one way street. 🔸KKR showed enough loyalty for him when he's injured & banned for a year. 🔸He needs to improve his fitness which he'll not. He can't just show up do nothing.

Rahane is still there..I just hope he's just a backup. I don't have any problem if they released him too. I hope many fans who were arguing "Russell is 12 cr bro" now understood he's causing 18 cr purse cut.

KKR was interested in Nathan Ellis ? Wow.. Glad to know they're thinking in the right direction.

Those who r questioning KKR's loyalty for Russell's release.. Get lost man. Only OS player Narine who played most no. of season (14 )is from KKR. Russell is with KKR for 11 seasons, only pollard featured more than him.KKR can't play him until he's 60 yrs old.

This is the most accurate analysis of KKR's retention strategy.

My preference would be like this 1.Jamie( Versatile can bat anywhere) / Finn Allen (Destructive, highest SR) 2. Josh English (even if he available for 3/4 matches, I'm buying him) 3. Bairstow/Banton....

I don't know why people even suggesting Seifert!! He's inconsistent with SR of 140. Aim something big ,we got 65 cr FFS. Get either Jamie Smith or Finn Allen + Josh English.

DO NOT TRUST Revsportz. They don't know anything about KKR strategy. KKR doesn't discuss their auction strategy with anyone. Only Nagraj 4m Espn used to break KKR's news even he had no clue about Russell's release this year.

I now know why KKR management used to not listen to fans suggestion. Who pick Zampa over no.1 T20 bowler Varun? U would pay 20cr+ to Green to bat at 5? Ridiculous suggestion.

Here's a thing when GG was captain there's no impact player rule. With impact player rule u don't need 125 kmph bowler in most days. Remember Venky conceded 25 runs in an over? That'll be the result more often than not.

Watching his current form many might think him as a tempting option but I'll advise against it. 🔸He only avg. 22 in IPL. 🔸While in 13 t20i in '24 his SR was 163, his SR is only 136 in '25. 🔸t20s in '24 & '25 his SR is only 126!! 🔸He bats in top order

I think it's cleared by Espn cricinfo chatter. This rule was never meant for the new comers in the first place, it's to stop os player who already played IPL (like Starc, Cummins etc) from exploiting the loophole.

U wouldn't believe I saw a KKR fan page who kept Jason Holder as an all-rounder option. 😂 KKR has more budget than their last mega auction, still they're suggesting Mediocre players!!

I think one of Matt Henry or Jacob Duffy is definitely coming to KKR. I'm expecting Southee to use his quota for good.

After that one Fluke season, he's scoring nowhere. I don't know what's this obsession of some fans with mediocre players!! U want destruction? Buy Finn Allen, he's a WK too+ Got power like Tim David. Not one dimensional like JFM.
