spent a staggering ₹23.75 crore in the mega auction to get him back. It was the third-highest price tag behind Rishabh Pant ( ₹27 crore) and Shreyas Iyer ( ₹26.75 crore). Venkatesh has been a consistent performer for KKR ever since making his debut midway through 2021. Barring a disappointing season in 2022, the left-hander has scored more than 350 runs in every year. But the spotlight was never quite on him like it has been this year, simply because of his price tag. KKR had exhausted their full retention quota by holding back Rinku Singh, Varun Chakarvarthy, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh but Iyer’s auction towered over them all.
