KKR’s new coach Abhishek Nair quits, big players dismissed

News India Live, Digital Desk: IPL auction is coming near and before that, the stir in the camp of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has made everyone’s ears perk up. We all know that this time instead of Chandrakant Pandit ji Abhishek Nayar Has taken command of the team (Head Coach). And brother, as soon as he sat on the coach’s chair, he made his intentions clear.

The biggest question that is troubling the minds of fans Why was Venkatesh Iyer released? The same Iyer whom KKR had bought in the last auction by paying a huge amount of Rs 23.75 crores. Relinquishing a player who earns such a huge sum is not a trivial decision.

Abhishek Nair’s ‘Fresh Start’ plan

After all, what is going on in Nair’s mind? Former wicketkeeper and cricket expert has answered this Saba Karim Ne. While talking on JioCinema, he revealed the layers of this entire matter.

Saba Karim says that Abhishek Nair’s way of working is different from others. They “Clean Slate” Or rather, we prefer to start with a blank slate. Karim said, “Abhishek always wants a fresh start. He retains only those players who he feels will 100% fit into his playing XI. The rest, no matter how big the player is, he releases them so that he can look for new options in the auction.”

Is this a trick to save Rs 24 crore?

It’s simple math, friend. KKR has added a huge amount back to its purse by releasing Venkatesh Iyer. Saba Karim feels this is a well-thought-out strategy. Nair is probably thinking, “Why not buy back this player at a lower price in the auction?” Or use that money to bring 2-3 new strong players.

This is Nair’s old style, he does not get carried away by emotions. He wants to make the team win, not maintain friendship.

KKR fans, there is nothing to fear!

Although it may seem risky to leave a player worth Rs 23.75 crore, we must remember that this is the same Abhishek Nair who has carved heroes like Rinku Singh and Varun Chakraborty. He knows every inch of the team.

Saba Karim also said that Nair probably wants to create a new ‘core team’ of his own, which will rule for the next few years. The old burden has been thrown away and now he is going to sit at the auction table with full strength and money.

Now it remains to be seen whether this “fresh start” takes KKR to the trophy or whether Venkatesh Iyer goes to some other team and it becomes costly for them! Whatever the case, this time’s auction will be worth watching.
