3 bold retention calls Dwayne Bravo could take for KKR before IPL 2025

Dwayne Bravo is now the Mentor of KKR. IPL recently announced the retention rules before IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three bold retention calls Dwayne Bravo could take for KKR before IPL 2025.

1) Release Andre Russell

Releasing Andre Russell is one of the bold retention calls Dwayne Bravo could take for KKR before IPL 2025. It will be a bold decision but if not now, KKR cannot take this risk anymore.

Considering his recent form, his fee may not be that high at the auctions. His age is also a factor here. KKR can buy him back using the RTM card. Therefore, Bravo could take this bold call of releasing the West Indian all-rounder.

2) Retain Rinku Singh despite the high retention fee

A few reports suggest that KKR are considering hiring back Rinku Singh using the RTM card. This is mainly because if KKR is to retain a fourth-capped cricketer, they will have to shell out INR 18 Cr.

That said, Rinku Singh is the future of the franchise and every other team will ensure that his salary reaches above INR 15 Cr. Therefore, it is always a good approach to give a higher priority to an Indian cricketer, especially a young one at that. Hence, KKR must retain Rinku Singh.

3) Retain Varun Chakaravarthy

Varun Chakaravarthy is a top defensive spinner in India. It is hard to get a domestic player like him. If he goes under the hammer, it will be very hard to get back the Tamil Nadu man.

Hence, it would be best for KKR to retain the cricketer. With the franchise likely to retain Sunil Narine, as well, KKR need not worry about signing a single spinner at the auctions. This will allow them to focus on the other areas.
