‘Disappointing’ to lose him – McCullum KKR head coach Brendon McCullum has admitted that it was “disappointing to lose” Shubman Gill.

Shubman Gill “You need to plan as you're going to lose a lot of players. It was disappointing to lose Shubman Gill. But that's the way life is sometimes and we will be well prepared for the upcoming auction,” said McCullum recently.

Gill in IPL 2021 With 478 runs in 17 matches, including three half-centuries, Gill finished with most runs for KKR in IPL 2021. Overall, he stood ninth in the list of most runs.

Venkatesh Iyer was story of IPL 2021’s second half: McCullum “Sunil Narine and Andre Russell have been proven campaigners for a decade. We have all seen what Varun Chakravarthy is capable of in the last two seasons. Venkatesh Iyer was probably the story of the second half of IPL 2021,” added McCullum.

IPL 2022 The start date of the 15th edition of IPL is yet to be announced by the BCCI.
