Two-time IPL title winner and arguably the favorite team of SRK’s fans, Kolkata Knight Riders’ journey in the IPL is nothing short of a roller coaster ride where one year they became one of the most indestructible forces and next year they didn’t even qualify for play-offs. KKR was captained by some legendary cricketers like Sourav Ganguly and Gautam Gambhir in past years; in fact, under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir, the franchise won two titles (2014, 2016). In IPL 2024, KKR will be led by India’s right-handed batter, Shreyas Iyer, and here is the complete list of the players who were being retained and released by the franchise before IPL 2024.
