Former Team India opener Aakash Chopra opined that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) should retain Shreyas Iyer during the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction as the 29-year-old batter is their IPL trophy-winning captain. "If ₹18 crore go, let them go because you won't get a captain...retain Iyer to maintain...continuity," he added. KKR clinched the IPL 2024 title under Iyer's captaincy.
