The players auction process for IPL 2023 will be held in Kochi on 23rd December. Earlier it was reported that Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Shahrukh Khan will not be seen at the auction table as he is very busy with his upcoming films.
Shahrukh was not seen on the auction table last time as well:
Last time i.e. in 2022, even during the mega auction of IPL, Shah Rukh Khan was not seen. In his place, his son Aryan Khan took over the responsibility. Apart from this, Janvi Mehta, daughter of Juhi Chawla and Jai Mehta, was also seen at the auction table.
This time too it is being speculated that in the absence of Shah Rukh Khan, his son Aryan Khan and daughter Suhana Khan will be seen bidding on the players at the auction table. Apart from this, Juhi Chawla's daughter Jhanvi Mehta will also be seen, as she is being seen continuously on the auction table for the last 2 years.
Talking more about the Kolkata Knight Riders team, this team, which made it to the finals of IPL in 2021, could not even qualify in the playoffs last season. For the first time, he made Shreyas Iyer the captain of his team by buying the option. After a good performance in the first few matches, he had to face defeat in the middle and end matches, due to which he could not make it to the playoffs.
Sam Billings, Alex Hales and Pat Cummins had decided not to take part in the IPL this season. After this, Kolkata Knight Riders included Shardul Thakur, Loki Ferguson and Rahmanullah Gurbaz in their team through the trade window.
Retained players of Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2023:
Andre Russell, Anukul Roy, Harshit Rana, Lockie Ferguson (trade), Nitish Rana, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (trade), Rinku Singh, Shardul Thakur (trade), Shreyas Iyer, Sunil Narine, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakraborty, Venkatesh Iyer .
