new Delhi. The team of Kolkata Knight Riders reached Kochi with the lowest amount in the mini auction. After the released players, only Rs 7.05 crore was left in the purse of the team. The team management had done a great homework and according to the plan, selected the players and bid on them. Away from glamour, the team invested money on batsman N Jagadishan as per the need, while foreign players like Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das were added to the team.
The team management of Kolkata has to be commended because the team they have prepared is now looking very good before 2023 IPL. The team has experienced Shakib, who has been the world’s number one all-rounder. So there is N Jagadishan, who made a world record by scoring century after century in domestic cricket. In List A i.e. Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, this batsman has created a stormy innings of 277 runs.
