Which team will play in the next season of the Indian Premier League will be decided in the next few days, when the mega auction will be organized. Before that, there is an important day on 31st October, when all the 10 franchises will reveal the names of their retained players. The current champion Kolkata Knight Riders seems to be taking some surprising decisions in this matter. There are continuous discussions about team captain Shreyas Iyer leaving and now a report has also claimed that star all-rounder Andre Russell may be released this time. Kolkata can retain only 4 players, while exercising the 'right to match' option on 2 more.

The report of RevSports has claimed that currently an agreement has been reached to retain 4 players in the current champion Kolkata Knight Riders. This includes last season's Player of the Tournament Sunil Narine, Varun Chakraborty, Harshit Rana and Rinku Singh. There is still doubt regarding captain Shreyas Iyer. The biggest decision has to be taken regarding Andre Russell, who does not seem to be retained at the moment.
