After the mega auction of IPL 2025, the squads of all the teams have changed. This time the dominance of Indian players was seen in the auction. At the same time, some teams bet on their old players, so that the winning combination of the last season could be retained. IPL 2024 champions Kolkata Knight Riders have also once again prepared a strong team, but they decided not to buy a star player this time. This player was a part of the KKR team for the last few seasons. After this, the player's wife expressed her displeasure on social media. Now former Indian player Aakash Chopra has given a big statement on this issue.

Kolkata Knight Riders decided to part ways with Nitish Rana this time. KKR neither retained Nitish Rana nor bought him in the auction. He was a part of this team for the last 7 years and also played the role of captain. His wife Sachi Marwah posted on social media when KKR did not buy Nitish. Nitish Rana's wife Sachi tweeted against KKR and wrote, that loyalty is expensive, not everyone can afford it. Aakash Chopra has expressed his opinion against such statements.

Aakash Chopra said, 'Loyalty is expensive, rightfully so and this is where I would like to tell wives, girlfriends or any other family member that your contribution with cryptic messages is absolutely not needed. You are not helping your loved one. They can fight their own battle. Loyalty is expensive and glitz is expensive too.'

Nitish Rana will now be seen playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. Nitish entered the auction this time with a base price of Rs 1.50 crore. It was expected that KKR would bid on him and keep him with the team. But KKR did not make even a single bid, after which Rajasthan included Nitish in their team by paying a huge amount of Rs 4.20 crore. Let us tell you, Nitish Rana has scored 2636 runs in 107 matches in IPL at an average of 28.65. His strike rate is more than 135. Nitish is also a part-time bowler.
