00:00Kolkata Nightriders after release, Venkatesh Iyer is said to be one of the major attractions for the auction.

00:06So here are 3 teams that can target him in the upcoming auction 2026.

00:111. Pahs CSK

00:12I think out of all the franchises, CSK can be one of the first to show interest in him.

00:18His style of play perfectly aligns with CSK's batting philosophy

00:22where players take some time to settle down before accelerating.

00:26And I think with Shivam Dubey anchoring the middle overs, Iyer can compliment him really really well

00:31and both of them can provide power and stability through the middle phase.

00:36Next team is Sun Rises Hyderabad.

00:38Inki middle order mein adding Iyer would offer the team a dependable Indian middle order option

00:43who can absorb the pressure and accelerate when needed.

00:47Inki team mein already Ishaan Kishan hai, so adding Iyer would make it a left heavy middle order

00:53who is capable of handling the pressure and also defending the opponent.

00:57Last and the final team would be KKR.

00:59I think despite releasing him, KKR can try to buy him back at a much much lower price.

01:05Iyer was exceptional for them in IPL 2024 averaging 46.25 and showcasing his clean hitting.

01:13I think now with reduced financial pressure and familiar conditions,

01:17Iyer could once again thrive in the team and become one of their key assets.

01:21If you could choose where to put Iyer amongst these three teams, where would you put him and why?

01:29Let me know your reasons in the comments below.
