Gill previously played for the Kolkata Knight Riders, but the team released him during the 2022 mega auction.  KKR CEO  Venky Mysore talked about not getting Shubman Gill back in KKR.

“It’s never a regret, and the decisions were made based on the set of information that was available at that point. We believe those were the right decisions we made, but it’s always tough to lose some players,” Mysore told

Mysore told “There is actually happiness when we see some of the players we have developed go to other franchises and do well — Shubman Gill is an example, the limitation as you know, the rules the IPL and BCCI make. In 2022 auction, we were allowed to keep only four players. There’s always a debate. There is always eight or nine whom we would like to keep, you had to select four out of those,” .
