Ex-India cricketer Mohammad Kaif said KKR made a massive mistake by releasing MI batter Suryakumar Yadav before the IPL 2018 auction, considering his ability to emerge as an impact player and match-winner. "KKR have struggled in the last two years," added Kaif. Former KKR captain Gautam Gambhir had earlier stated that letting Suryakumar leave was KKR's biggest loss.
