Former Australian cricket captain Aaron Finch has urged the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to reconsider retaining all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer, citing his high price tag of Rs 23.75 crore and inconsistent team role. Finch highlighted that although Iyer was pivotal in past seasons, his recent performance has declined, making his retention questionable. He suggested that releasing Iyer could free up funds for KKR to possibly re-sign him at a more suitable price. The franchise’s decision regarding Iyer will be revealed with the upcoming retention announcement.
