IPl 2025: Shreyas, Rinku, Russell, Salt And Narine Should Be Retained By KKR, Says Harbhajan Singh
IPL 2022: Really proud of the way team played to take the match till last over, says KKR skipper Shr
With the impressive performance last season, former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh picked Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Phil Salt, and Sunil Narine as five possible retentions by the Kolkata-based franchise to keep their core group intact.
“KKR dominated the entire season, so it will be difficult for them to leave or retain anyone. But it's a matter of retention, so you only have limited numbers that you can retain. If I want to see or if I have to choose my 6 players, which 6 players will be there for KKR? I think Shreyas Iyer will be there, Phil Salt will be there, Narine will be there, Andre Russell will be there, Rinku Singh will be there," Harbhajan told Star Sports.
He went on to pick uncapped Ramandeep Singh, who batted at a blistering strike rate of 201.61 in the middle order, as the sixth and final retention by the champion side.
"I will definitely want to see Rinku Singh. He should be the 5th player to be retained. And if we talk about one more player, who is the last player to be retained? It could be Ramandeep Singh. He is an uncapped player. I think he should be retained. He played very well last year and I have seen his performance in domestic cricket this year as well. So I think this 6th player, Knight Rider, will be retained," the former spinner added.
