IPL 2026 Auction: 3 teams that could start a bidding war for Venkatesh Iyer
Venkatesh Iyer has been part of Kolkata Knight Riders for five years in the IPL.

A reunion with Kolkata Knight Riders cannot be ruled out. Despite releasing him, KKR may attempt to buy him back at a much lower price. Iyer was exceptional for them in IPL 2024, averaging 46.25 and showcasing his clean hitting and temperament. With reduced financial pressure and familiar conditions, Iyer could once again thrive and become a key asset for the three-time champions.
In fact, the cricketer has himself confirmed exclusively to CricTracker that he would love to see himself wear the purple jersey once again and re-unite with the three-time champions. However, the auction dynamics are very spiced up in the cash-rich tournament, and it would largely depend on whether the side would still want to see him be back with them.
