The Kolkata Knight Riders team then bought Shreyas Iyer for Rs.12.25 crores at the super auctions, and he was named captain. This year also, Red Chillies and the team are showing immense faith in Iyer and retaining him as the team’s captain.

They invested in more well-known brands while seeing their financial resources shrink. This resulted in many players’ retention, whereas some were traded to other teams. The list of players who are still holding their position in the team are:
