Δημοπρασία IPL: Η συμφωνία του Shreyas Iyer με την DC ολοκληρώθηκε, αλλά η KKR είναι πολύ σε «δυνατή» διάθεση για να χρησιμοποιήσει το RTM

Just about any murmur to do with IPL Auctions, is a news these days. Now as per an unconfirmed report in Cricbuzz, Shreyas Iyer, the former KKR skipper could well be on his way to DC, his previous franchise. This year, at the IPL Retentions, while Iyer was let go by KKR, Rishabh Pant was shown the exit door by DC. The report also talks about the “deal going through” between the IPL-winning skipper and DC.

KKR vs DC for Shreyas Iyer?

But, of course, despite the deal, nothing can be confirmed, since all the other teams will be in fray too. Most importantly, KKR have the option of using RTM on Shreyas Iyer, who have a purse of INR 51 Cr remaining. The report also talks about how KKR is interested in RTMing their skipper, but all will depend on much money the team is left with. DC on the other other are in a better position to get him, and have a purse of 73 Cr remaining.

Other teams could be in the running too. One of the contenders could be PBKS, who have a purse of INR 110 Cr left with them, who would be looking for a solid skipper. The chances can be rated high since they have roped in Ricky Ponting as their head coach, who has a good working relationship with Shreyas Iyer at DC.
