KKR IPL 2021 player list: Kolkata Knight Riders roped in several game changers in the mini-auction for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Thursday. The franchise had retained almost its core unit ahead of the auctions, and on Thursday the team added experienced Shakib al Hasan and Harbhajan Singh in their squad. 

Apart from the duo, the team also roped in Karun Nair, Sheldon Jackson, Pawan Negi among others in their ranks. 

Meanwhile, Andre Russell, who had a quiet outing in UAE last year, would look to make up for it in the upcoming edition. The current KKR unit looks balanced with young India opener Shubman Gill leading the batting. Apart from him the team also have Dinesh Karthik and England limited-over captain Eoin Morgan in their ranks.

Varun Chakravarthy, who was initially named in India's T20 squad against Australia based on his exploits in IPL 2020, will take this opportunity to get a recall in the squad, especially with the T20 World Cup approaching.
