From Mohammad Shami To Jos Buttler: Top 10 Players Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Will Target In IPL 2025 Mega Auction - In Pics

Shami’s precision and experience make him a top choice. Despite missing IPL 2024, his performance in previous seasons, especially in powerplay overs, could anchor KKR's bowling attack.

Recently released by Rajasthan Royals, Buttler’s dynamic batting style would suit KKR’s aggressive approach. His ability to attack from the start can solidify the top order alongside Narine.

Mukesh showcased excellent control with the Delhi Capitals, taking 17 wickets last season. His inclusion would bring much-needed accuracy and depth to KKR’s bowling lineup.

Salt’s explosive performances have garnered attention, and his skills as a top-order batsman would align well with KKR’s need for aggressive starts, adding variety to their batting options.

Kishan’s blend of wicketkeeping and batting could fill dual roles for KKR. His quick scoring and experience in IPL make him an ideal candidate to strengthen the team’s middle order.

Shahbaz’s left-arm spin and batting ability lower down the order offer strategic flexibility. Released by RCB, he can complement Narine, balancing KKR’s all-rounder options.

Returning to KKR could be on the cards for Venkatesh. His all-round performance last season helped steady KKR’s innings, and his familiarity with the setup is a bonus.

Boult’s prowess in death overs and his lethal swinging deliveries make him a solid choice for KKR’s bowling. His experience in pressure situations could be invaluable in tight games.

Known for his raw pace, Akash Deep is a developing talent in the Bengal circuit. Although untested in IPL, KKR could benefit by grooming him as a backup pacer for tournament depth.

Easwaran’s consistent domestic record and ability to pace innings make him a reliable option for KKR’s top order, potentially filling the gap of a stable anchor in the batting lineup.
