KKR's 9.20 Cr Mustafizur Dilemma: BCCI Directive Forces Release, Funds Returned
- •KKR released Mustafizur Rahman (9.20 Cr) due to a sudden BCCI directive, not player withdrawal or injury.
- •The release is attributed to "external diplomatic and security reasons," falling under 'Force Majeure' clause.
- •KKR will receive the full 9.20 crore rupees back into their salary purse, allowing them to seek a replacement.
- •Despite the refund, finding a replacement of Mustafizur's caliber, especially as a death-over specialist, will be challenging.
- •The situation penalizes KKR for circumstances beyond their control, impacting their team composition.
Why It Matters: KKR gets 9.20 Cr back after Mustafizur's forced release, but finding a quality replacement is tough.
