KKR ruined Venkatesh Iyer? RCB coach said – Had it been with us, he would have been covered; VIDEO
After winning the IPL 2025, a statement by RCB coach Andy Flower is under discussion, in which he has made a big claim about Venkatesh Iyer. He said that if Iyer were part of his team, his season would have been different. He also told that the team was quite serious about Venkatesh Iyer and Wanted to include in her squad.
A few days after winning RCB’s first IPL Trophy, now an interesting video of Head Coach Andy Flower has surfaced. In the video, Flower told that the team was quite serious about Venkatesh Iyer and was tried to include him in the squad.
Venkatesh Iyer was part of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2025, but the performance did not remain as expected. The all -rounder, purchased at a heavy price of ₹ 23.75 crore, scored just 142 runs in 11 matches and could not even reach the team playoffs.
Flower said, “We like Venky very much, so we went with full force to take them. We wanted a strong Indian core and especially a left-hander needed in the top order. If he played for us, I think I think his season would go very well.”

This victory was very special for RCB. After 18 years, the team got the IPL Trophy for the first time and the moment was extremely emotional for Virat Kohli, who had lost three finals. It was not easy to defend 190 runs against Punjab Kings in the final, but RCB bowlers made a brilliant comeback and Krunal Pandya overturned the match dice by taking 2 wickets important for just 17 runs in 4 overs.
After RCB’s victory, now the coach’s statement about Venkatesh Iyer is in the discussion, which is clear that if Kolkata releases Venkatesh Iyer the next season, RCB’s eyes will definitely be on inclusion in their team.
