Steady on mate it was article from Times of India so i thought it would be credible enough, anyways, even if he is flushing away his foreign players he still gotta realise he has got plenty of good T20 foreign players in there, just because his team didn't do well last season doesn't make them bad players.
He isn't offloading them in an everything must go sale, which is the impression the headline in the first article creates. He's putting them up for negotiation just like all the other teams are putting up their players for negotiation. Anyway, lets focus
I'd love to see Dravid and his boys make the semi finals next season. And I hope Dale Steyn is kicked out. 
Thought Shoaib performed better than the other two by a distance in the IPL, though?
He played like two games though.
Came injured into the tournament played his first game did very well, then he got injured again, now how predictable was that, no wonder KKR don't want him anymore.....
More use than what Afridi or Gibbs did though.
He had a sensational debut game, but as far as I can recall, nothing after that. Plus he's a liability from a fitness and discipline pov. Then there's the question of team combination too. They've got David Hussey, McCullum, Ponting, Gayle, Gul and Mendis in their overseas pool. Mendis has become a phenomenon since the last IPL and there's no way they'll not play him every game this season, subject to availability. Their bowling attack will most likely comprise Ishant, Gul, Agarkar, Dhinda and Mendis if they play 5 bowlers. But that lengthens the tail, so they're more likely to play 4 bowlers at the maximum. Shoaib appears the weakest link.
Kolkata Knight Riders is one of the franchise of the eight team taking part in the Indian Premier League. It was bought by Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment in partnership with Juhi Chawla Mehta and her husband, Jai Mehta.
You do realise that except for the Red chillies part, you've basically repeated my entire point ad nauseum?
Its not only him, likes of Clarke and Haddin are also likely to do the same, but imo with the kind of money that is up for grabs in the IPL and not to forget the sponsorship deals that are likely to come their way, if these players perform well in India for their respective franchises, so really don't know what's making these guy so apprehensive about the IPL.
Yeah Clarke and Haddin too, a crux of guys who should remain in the Aussie setup for years to come. Franchising themselves as Aussie cricketers, odd though. I guess they're holding off for the APL or whatever its called.
Nah, its going to be called KFC T20 bash only, but CA are planning to make this annual event slightly more grander and larger in scale and of course invite atleast two high profile forgien players to be part of every state side, but still i can't see Clarke, Johnson or Haddin, making anywhere near as much money in Australia, compared to what they are likely to make by playing in the IPL.
Yup, it would have looked much simpler, had much more older and richer Aussie players would have done the same, because i am sure likes of Ponting, Mussey, Symonds, Lee,etc also have enough money to ignore the IPL, as they too have to deal with the same hectic schedule and workload, that Clarke, Johnson and Haddin are going to deal with in the upcoming months.
"Need" is different to "want"
