A setback for KKR…

This BCCI decision is a big blow for Kolkata Knight Riders. Mustafizur Rahman was bought by KKR for ₹9.20 crore (₹9.20 crore). The team has given him such a huge amount considering him as the match winner. However, the team will no longer be able to use his services in the upcoming season. Mustafizur is an experienced bowler, especially his excellent death-over bowling, which could have proved beneficial for KKR. The left-arm fast bowler from Bangladesh has previously played for several franchises in the IPL and has impressed with his variations and impressive performances under pressure.
