Former Indian captain Kris Srikkanth has expressed his views on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer ahead of the IPL 2026 auction.
Srikkanth believes that Venkatesh Iyer is not a tradable asset for the franchise. According to him, Iyer’s value to the team goes beyond just being a player who can be bought or sold in the auction.
As one of KKR’s key players, Iyer has shown immense potential with both bat and ball. His consistent performances have made him an integral part of the team’s strategy, making it difficult for the franchise to consider trading him.
With the IPL 2026 auction approaching, franchises will be looking to strengthen their squads. However, KKR might prioritize retaining Iyer given his importance and the balance he brings to the team.
Fans and experts alike will be watching closely to see how KKR manages their player lineup and whether Iyer remains a core member moving forward.
