“Enormous auctions are depressing. You have to switch up the team every three years once you set a combination. However, Ramandeep stated at the press conference following the game, “That is not an excuse; teams will try to find their winning combinations as quickly as possible, and we are trying to find our winning combination as well.”
On March 31 (Monday), the Mumbai Indians (MI) dealt the reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) yet another crushing setback in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. With more than seven overs remaining and eight wickets remaining, MI chased down their meagre 116 on the board after they were outplayed in every aspect.
KKR has not had a strong start to the season because of the large number of new players joining and the departure of numerous long-time veterans.
Since they must now come up with a new combination and abandon the one they had last year, all-rounder Ramandeep Singh thinks the mega auction has had a significant impact on that.
KKR is now at the bottom of the table after losing two of their three IPL 2025 games. When they play Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Eden Gardens on Thursday, April 3, they will be hoping to resume their winning ways.
