There is a strong possibility that KKR may buy back Venkatesh Iyer: Saba Karim

Former selector Saba Karim predicted KKR will likely buy back Venkatesh Iyer in the IPL 2026 auction for less than his previous $23.75\text{cr}$ price. He called it a "trademark Abhishek Nayar move" to free up the massive purse ($64.3\text{cr}$) and re-acquire key players at a better value.
