The IPL 2025 mega auction is around the corner, and even before that the mock auction has created a stir among cricket fans. This time many big names are participating in the auction, among which players like Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul are prominent.
Shreyas Iyer returns to KKR!
The mock auction organized by Ravichandran Ashwin saw the explosive return of Shreyas Iyer to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). KKR bought Iyer for Rs 9.5 crore. This decision was shocking because KKR had released Iyer before the mega auction.
Last season, KKR won the title under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, but the team surprised the fans by releasing him. Now with the return of the mock auction, it is being speculated that KKR may once again repose confidence in Iyer in the auction.
Delhi Capitals also in the race
On the other hand, media reports are claiming that Delhi Capitals can include Shreyas Iyer in their team in the mega auction. Delhi has released its current captain Rishabh Pant, due to which the team needs an experienced captain. Iyer, who has captained Delhi before, is considered perfect for the role.
KKR’s retained players
KKR has retained Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Rinku Singh, Varun Chakraborty, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh this season. With the return of Shreyas Iyer, the team can get a stable captain.
IPL 2025: What will be Shreyas’s decision?
Shreyas Iyer now has two big options—return to KKR or a fresh start at Delhi Capitals. Will Iyer once again lead KKR to the title, or create history by captaining Delhi? The wait for IPL 2025 mega auction has become even more exciting for the fans.
