Sunil Narine to Venkatesh Iyer: Biggest flops of KKR who might get RELEASED before IPL 2026
IPL's defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders are out of the playoff race. The team's match against Royal Challengers Bangalore was washed out due to rain. After 13 matches, KKR has only 12 points and now the team cannot go to the playoffs. This year KKR's performance was very disappointing. The team could not chase the target of 112 runs against Punjab. Apart from this, the team's performance was very disappointing in many matches. We tell you about 5 players, whom KKR can release before the next season. KKR had retained Ramandeep Singh for four crores. He disappointed a lot. Only 34 runs came off Ramandeep's bat in 10 matches. His average was 8.50 and strike rate was 113. This is the reason why the franchise can release him. In the IPL 2025 auction, KKR spent Rs 23 crore 75 lakh to buy Venkatesh Iyer. Even after playing 11 matches, Iyer could score only 142 runs. He does not even bowl and in such a situation his release seems certain. KKR had spent 6.5 crores to buy South Africa's Anrich Nortje. He got a chance to play in only one match. He could not do anything in this too. This is the reason why KKR would like to buy another player in his place. South African wicketkeeper batsman Quinton de Kock was bought by KKR in the auction for 3 crore 60 lakhs. He got a chance to play in 7 matches and scored only 143 runs. 97 of these runs were in a single match. KKR has also dropped de Kock from the playing eleven. Australia's Spencer Johnson performs brilliantly in the Big Bash. But he could not repeat it in the IPL. The left-arm fast bowler gave runs at an economy of 11.74 in 4 matches for KKR. During this period, he was able to dismiss only one batsman.

IPL 2025: You can be fit only by eating home-cooked food, says KKR's Ramandeep Singh
Kolkata: Kolkata Knight Riders batter Ramandeep Singh shared valuable insights into his fitness regimen, nutrition philosophy and daily routines that keep him at peak performance. Growing up in Chandigarh with an international cyclist as a father gave Ramandeep a head start in understanding nutrition. "Luckily, I have been blessed with a father who is an international cyclist. So, he has been teaching me a lot about diet from the beginning," Ramandeep revealed in KKR's fitness series 'Train Like a Knight'. This early education emphasised the importance of non-vegetarian food and dairy products, which have remained staples in his diet. The KKR batter revealed that he starts each day with traditional desi ghee, followed by a simple yet nutritious breakfast consisting of "2 whole eggs, 3 egg whites, whole wheat bread and curd". This straightforward approach to nutrition underscores his belief that fitness doesn't require exotic ingredients or complicated meal plans. Perhaps the most striking aspect of Ramandeep's nutrition philosophy is his unwavering commitment to home-cooked meals. "You can be fit only by eating home-cooked food. This is what I believe, that whatever you want to eat, cook it at home. You can't be fit by going to fancy restaurants," he emphasised. He advocates for a simple approach to healthy eating that anyone can follow: "Sugar, fried food and flour. If you leave these three things, 90% of your food will take care of itself." For those looking to begin their fitness journey, Ramandeep recommends bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, and pull-ups - the same exercises he started with as a youngster. "If we start early, there are a lot of benefits. When you are in a professional sport, you take very little time to become a professional athlete," he noted. While many fitness enthusiasts focus solely on active training days, Ramandeep places equal importance on recovery. "The day we are not working out, we have a recovery day. So on that day, nutrition plays a significant role. The next day you are at 100%, you are peaking. So for that, I think the rest days are more important." His pre-workout routine includes three grams of creatine, while post-workout nutrition focuses on protein with adequate fiber for proper absorption, which he gets from vegetables at dinner. Throughout the interview, Ramandeep emphasised that fitness should be accessible to everyone. For those without gym access, he suggests simple alternatives: "You can do sprints because wherever there is space, you can do sprints. 20 meters is enough. Even if you're doing starts, that's really good." He also shared his healthy alternative for satisfying sweet cravings - curd with jaggery and blueberries, which offers nutritional benefits while pleasing the palate. The most important takeaway from Ramandeep's fitness philosophy is his emphasis on consistency and making healthy choices part of daily life. "In your day-to-day life, you brush your teeth every day. You bathe every day. So you should eat good food every day. You should train well." The episode concluded with Ramandeep demonstrating a challenging single-leg squat exercise, inviting viewers to attempt the move and share their results with the hashtag #TrainLikeAKnight.
