KKR Break The Bank For Venkatesh Iyer, Buy Him Back For Rs 23.75 Crore At IPL Mega Auction

In a dramatic turn at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) made headlines by re-signing their star all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer for a staggering ā‚¹23.75 crore.

Iyer, who had a standout performance in the previous IPL seasons, became the focus of an intense bidding war involving Chennai Super Kings, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Ultimately, KKR emerged victorious, securing their prized player and making him one of the most expensive buys in IPL history.

The decision to break the bank for Iyer underscores his immense value as a dynamic all-rounder who can anchor innings and deliver crucial overs.

Fans and cricket experts are lauding KKR's move, viewing it as a bold statement ahead of the upcoming season.

Trumpā€™s $45M Army Parade Overshadowed, Protesters Outnumber Attendees | ā€œNo Kingsā€ Chants Echo in US

President Trumpā€™s highly anticipated 250th Army anniversary parade in Washington D.C. was meant to be a patriotic spectacleā€”but it fell flat. Despite tanks, military flyovers, and millions spent, the streets were shockingly under-attended. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of anti-Trump protesters flooded cities across the U.S., chanting ā€œNo Kingsā€ and calling for his ouster. The contrast was jarring: as Trump delivered a brief 8-minute speech calling the U.S. ā€œthe hottest country,ā€ political violence rocked Minnesota and national tensions surged.
