KKR shelling out Rs 12.25 crore on Shreyas Iyer must be bad news for Eoin Morgan's hopes of an IPL contract: Iyer likely to captain and KKR's remaining budget has already taken a major hit

Woah! At 12.25, KKR will be very happy bagging Shreyas 𒆙Iyer. I must admit, I thought it would go much high൩er.

💛Two brilliant pick ups at excellent prices for KKR at the IPL auctions. Shreyas Iyer and Pat Cummins are steals at their prices and🔯 both possible captains.
