KOLKATA: (Apr 4) Kolkata Knight Riders vice-captain Venkatesh Iyer believes his Rs 23.75 crore price tag doesn’t mean he has to score heavily in every game, stressing that his focus is on making a meaningful impact for the team.

Re-signed by KKR using the Right to Match card at the mega auction, Iyer became the franchise's most expensive signing and the third costliest player in IPL in November.

But he had a lukewarm start to the new season, managing just 9 runs in the first two games as talks began to grow over the justification of his hefty price.
