Be it IPL or any other tournament, it rarely happens in the game of cricket when a team becomes champion under the captaincy of a player and after some time the captaincy is taken away from him. If reports are to be believed, Shreyas Iyer is going through a similar phase. Under his captaincy, Kolkata Knight Riders became the champion of IPL 2024, but now the rumors of his release are at their peak.
What is the last reason due to which KKR has to release Shreyas Iyer?
According to a report by Cricbuzz, Shreyas Iyer had demanded a huge amount in front of KKR in case of being retained. But the franchise does not want to fulfill those demands, as a result of which Iyer got released. Iyer was signed by KKR in IPL 2022 for Rs 12.25 crore and if we talk about the last season, he had scored 351 runs in 14 matches. He missed the entire season due to injury. Shreyas Iyer has scored 3,127 runs in his 115-match IPL career. He has scored runs at an average of 32.24 in his career and has also played 21 half-century innings during this period.
