RP Singh feels that Venkates Iyer can’t play regularly because he is trying to justify the heavy price in the IPL 2025 for the KKR. The champions of champions surprised everyone by firing Rs. 23.75 Crore Rupees for Venkatesh during the IPL 2025 auction. However, Southpaw fought during the tournament because only 135 runs in 8 matches on average 22.5 and a strike rate 139.17.
Venkatesh was killed by fans due to his lack of intention during the persecution against GT in the last game of KKR. Today in an interview with India before India before the clash of Tata IPL 2025, “revenge” between Kalkata’s Knight and Kings in the Pandjab Siastar Singh said that KKR during the auction offering a little incorrect judgment.
The former Pacer feels that it would not be best if the KRK was dropping the MP dough right now and thought it could slowly come into shape with each game. Singh feels that the price tag is playing on Venkatesho’s mind at the moment and can exaggerate that he has to win the championship for his side with one hand.
“It’s a bit of a difficult question, because when a player is selected at such a high price in the auction, somewhere in your thoughts, you consider it either your main player or potential captain material. But here it turned out that there was one.
“You have started from your best captain and now he is doing well with the captain of another team. So I don’t think it’s a great choice to drop this player now. Because you’ve already given him a good amount of matches.
“What could happen is that the amount of money for which it was purchased is playing on his mind. Maybe he thinks,” I was bought for such a huge amount, I have to do and take my team to the championship. This excessive expectation can be pressure, “Singh said.
Venkatesh as an opener?
Venkateshe began his career with a KKR as an opener and Singh feels that it could be a way to solve problems with KKR launching.
“No, that’s not a bad idea. In fact, it’s a good idea – to reduce one foreign player and let the Venekates Iyer open. I feel that Narine should certainly be on the team because his tosses sometimes become important.”
“So maybe Venkatesh and Narine can open up together and can bring someone like Powell in the middle order to use his power there. So this option is not bad at all.”
While Singh admitted that the decision eventually was to manage the team, they could open up with Venkatesh and Sunil Narine because they have already invested a lot in the MP dough.
“It depends on how the leadership thinks, because many times coaches and support staff evaluate things based on the current form seen in networks and surrounding scenarios. That’s something we really don’t see outside.”
“But yes, this way to open up Venkatesh – I think it’s worth trying. You have already invested so much time in it, so why not let it open shifts?” said Singh.
