A new record has been set today

“(On Rahane) He’s got amazing leadership quality. Adds a lot in terms of leadership. Is a solid opening batsman. Ajinkya can fulfil that role. Venky is a free-flowing batsman, and he can be the foil. (On Rinku Singh) He was part of KKR academy, so he’s one of our homegrown boys. He’s just an amazing person to have. Has a great sense of humour, and everyone gets along with him. (On Iyer leading) That’s something the team management will decide, but that’s definitely on the table."

KKR still have plenty in their wallet, could get another marquee player or two

“When we were sitting for our retention discussions, the third choice was so tough, between Ishan, Surya. We had sleepless nights, and were committed to getting one of them back. We’ve been thinking about them as a pair, and so happy we’ve got them together. Jof and Boom make a lethal pair. We thought he’d go for a lot more. He’s stayed injury-free, which is very important for us. He’s going to partner Pollard for us at 6. We’ve always bet on power-hitters down the order. He has the experience of IPL, and knows what it’s all about. We look forward to him and Pollard finishing the game for us. Very happy with the players we have bought today,” says MI’s Akash Ambani in a chat with the broadcaster.

Akash Ambani: Jofra Archer was a player who Mahela gave his first professional debut to. We've been thinking about it ever since. This year, he won't be with us, but next year, Jofra and Boom will be great together. #IPLAuction
