The CEO and managing director of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Venky Mysore, stated that the franchise has “no regrets” about not retaining players such as Shubman Gill, who have since performed well for other IPL franchises.
The loss of Shubman Gill was the Gujarat Titans’ gain, as the India opener played a crucial role in their championship run last season.
Mysore told reporters on the sidelines of the Knight Golf event, “It’s actually gratifying to see some of the players we’ve developed succeed with other franchises — Shubman Gill is an illustration.”
Last season, Gill ranked among the top five run scorers with 483 runs. He scored 333 runs in eight innings (average of 41.62), placing him second on the list of leading run scorers behind Faf Du Plessis.
Not only Gill, but also former KKR teammates Kuldeep Yadav (Delhi Capitals), Piyush Chawla (Mumbai Indians), and Ajinkya Rahane (Chennai Super Kings) are performing well for their respective franchises.
