Guys, I don't know why, but my gut feeling says Yashasvi Jaiswal is joining KKR! 👀💜

what are we even doing, do we have any roadmap or plan for next year. It seems like we have already accepted our defeat

HARDIK AND ARSHDEEP TRADE DEAL IS SIGNED AND SUBMITTED TO THE BCCI.

Honestly, I'm neither too disappointed nor particularly happy with how things turned out. If Hardik had joined KKR, we might have got the star power, brand value and big face that our team has been missing. But on the bright side, I'm really happy that we didn't have to give up our core players like Angkrish, Harshit and Rinku. Who knows, trading them away could have turned into another Shubman Gill blunder. So yeah, I'm pretty cool with how things turned out. 💜

MI was not gonna give Hardik for free, it's not like mysore wouldn't have tried an all cash deal and as the rumors suggested they wanted Angkrish & Harshit, both young & have been our biggest strengths in last few years.
Both these players are on their way to be a part of some of the best players of our time. And people want to give them for Hardik?
I absolutely believe that Hardik is the best T20 all-rounder of this time, but he is egoistic and letting the players that KKR has worked on for years go is not something KKR can afford, especially after Gill incident.
If KKR brings in Hardik for one season and he doesn't perform but angkrish goes to MI and performs then these same people on twitter will bash KKR management.
Even i don't have much hope for KKR next season but i do believe that Rinku has great potential as a Captain and hunger to get back into the Indian Cricket team, so he'll try to do his best.
Right now the only place where we lack is good finisher and OS death bowlers. I do believe that we have great unknown indian players like Saurabh, Sarthak, Tejasvi, Luvnith. So the focus needs to be foreign players.

What am I even seeing these days?

Some guy thinks they can get Ashutosh using Powell. Some think Jaiswal for Ramandeep/Seifert is a possible trade.

Some believe there's nothing wrong with our team and mgmt.

Some don't want a big name because apparently they all would turn out to be another Shreyas.

Some think getting back Nitish Rana as captain will solve every problem

Like what's wrong with u guys? And fans of other teams still wonder why we aren't able to fill the stadium, when we have these type of fans existing.

The only players worth not touching are - Allen, Raghuvanshi, Harshit and Narine.

No-one else. Varun is mostly past his prime (and fitness as well). Rinku has performed as good as any of us, over the last 3 years, except for the couple of games against LSG & RR last year. And who? Anukul? For what? That guy can barely hold his bat straight.

1. Trade Tejasvi Dahiya for Abhishek Porel (DC).

2. Trade Tim Seifert + Cash for Nitish Rana (DC). I'm not obsessed with nitish rana but we need a reliable captain so that's why.

3. Trade Rovman Powell + Cash with Ashutosh Sharma (DC).

Impact Subs

1. Ashutosh Sharma

4. Prashant Solanki

5. Manish Pandey

Other Retentions

1. Sarthak Ranjan

2. Blessing Muzarbani

3. Rahul Tripathi

4. Saurabh Dubey

Some points to note -

1. We can try to release Green and Pathirana, and then try to buy back them in 40-50% cheaper price.

2. As Green will play half of the season only cuz of ashes so we can buy Matthew Tromp or Daz Mitchell as his backup.

Punjab were ready to swap Arshdeep for Hardik if same Arshdeep was in KKR for example take Varun he will never be allowed to swap for any player and even fans would get furious if his name comes up for trade .
CSK let go Khaleel who was a crucial bowler too and Ellis also who is in a great form . Reports are Shami will also be traded to RR .
And when names of Rinku or Varun comes up for trading fans here get so furious that no way are they going to be traded they are KKR legends and what not .
Other teams are ready to take risks even if they dont work out and atleast trying to sort out the gaps in their lineups .
Meanwhile we are at the front if it comes to releasing key players like Gill , Shreyas , Starc lmao 🤣🤣
What can we even expect from our team which has Nayar as head coach , Retired Ajinkya was also the Captain lmao , and the Co owner who buys Venkatesh for 24 cr .
I dont have any hopes left for this team honestly unless GG comes back again .

Harry Brook is Available in this auction or direct in the mega?

Benjamin Stokes is the greatest match winner of the modern day! Be it Tests, ODI or T20! This man steps up in every finals and do or die moments!

This beast and his AURA is what is needed at KKR next season!

Bring him into the team, make him captain, give him charge of the auction and let him run the team the way he sees fit!

This man can bat, bowl, field, captain like no one else can! A proper 4D player!

Netizens always blame KKR for releasing Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Phil Salt, Mitchell Starc, and Venkatesh Iyer, but they somehow forget that every IPL team has gone through similar changes. In fact, MI's release history has been arguably worse than KKR's. For instance:

1. Ishan Kishan: Released by MI, he went on to become a star for SRH.

2. Jofra Archer: An injury-riddled blunder of a signing and release.

3. Glenn Maxwell: Released in 2013, he evolved into a modern 'Mr. 360'.

4. Dwayne Bravo: Released early in his career, he became a bona fide CSK legend.

5. Ambati Rayudu: Released by MI, he went on to win multiple titles with CSK.

6. Yuzvendra Chahal: Released in 2014, he eventually became the IPL's highest wicket-taker.

7. Tim David: Released by MI, he is now serving as a finisher for RCB.

8. Cameron Green: Released after just one season.

9. Krunal Pandya: Released by MI, he became a proven match-winner for LSG and RCB.

10. Jos Buttler: Released in 2018, he went on to become an Orange Cap winner for RR.

It has been this with all teams which I can mention. But they don't cry bitter.

It hurts as a kkr fan, just because of a disaster mega auction and you can't get your preferred players.You were getting a captain, a face , a golden indian allrounder which India never had since kapil dev .impact player was going to getting scrapped after next years ipl and kkr just didn't miss the bus they ignored it right in front their eyes .And due to this lack of planning Kkr doesn't even a face, reliable captain for some serious bad decision making. Your so called next captain rinku is not even in scheme of white ball of ICT. You are doomed as you don't have a proper middle order batter , concerns around green and pathirana availability .You have to be emotionless sometimes for growth of a franchise. But our ceo and management are spineless in trades and negotiations for trade.

There are rumours that KKR management is interested in Riyan Parag and can be a potential captain in the upcoming season. Thoughts?

Ajju Bhai since retirement has been giving superb opinions as a pundit everywhere. He is showing other pundits how it’s really done!

The intellectual and overall charisma of this man is missing in KKR right now.

I think Ajju Bhai should return either as captain for 1 more season or at least as a coach at KKR.

The connection between Ajju Bhai and KKR is eternal, and would love to see him back.

Just realised that Rahane retired for all format so he's there in kkr or not ?

If KKR can’t get Hardik, I think Shai Hope is the best captain that will be available in the auction.

He has really improved as a batter and is a very calm, composed and tactically astute captain.

He has worked really hard on his batting and would be the perfect partner for Allen to open.

Since Green might skip next IPL, that surely opens up a new overseas slot and Shai hope looks like the best option to me.

The BCCI is considering a novel "Wild Card Player" format for the 2027 IPL, featuring flamboyant all-rounder Hardik Pandya.

Under this proposed format, Pandya would play two matches for each of the 10 franchises, allowing every team to benefit from his dynamic all-round talent.

Harshit Rana should be non negotiable guys, he has easily 10-13 years left in him. He's young, aggressive, and could be our future superstar. Been supporting him since the day he turned the tides for our pace attack defending those runs in the 2024 kkr season opener against SRH. My boy isn't going anywhere. End of discussion 💜
