Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders have voted against the mega-auction ahead of the IPL 2025. However, BCCI is in no mood to scrap it, which might force the team management to narrow down on certain players and offer them a new contract for the next cycle. Notably, the Apex Council has yet to finalise the number of retentions for each franchise and whether or not they will bring back the Right to Match (RTM) cards

For Kolkata, the job is even tougher. Their mentor Gautam Gambhir has already left the squad to join the Indian team, as did batting and fielding coaches Abhishek Nayar and Ryan ten Doeschate, respectively. First, they need to fix their think tank and later, they have a tough job of letting the majority of their players from their winning squad leave for the mega-auction. 


Here are the five capped and 1 uncapped player KKR might retain ahead of the mega-auction:

Another star performer that Kolkata Knight Riders could retain ahead of the IPL 2025 auction could be England opener Phil Salt. The 28-year-old was exceptional for the side in their title winning campaign in 2024, but had to leave the tournament midway due to commitments with the national side. In the 2024 season, Salt scored 435 runs in the 12 matches that he played, maintaining an average of 39.55.
