Players that the Kolkata Knight Riders might target in the 2024 IPL mini-auction

The 2024 IPL season was an average season for the Kolkata Knight Riders. They only won six matches in their league stage and failed to qualify for the playoffs. Many of their big guns failed to fire, but the team had several savers and rising stars. One of them was Rinku Singh, who was one of the best players in the squad.

Now the team has released 12 players, including big names like Shardul Thakur, Lockie Ferguson, Shakib al-Hasan, and many more. Releasing big players has also resulted in getting them a big purse before the 2024 IPL mini-auction. They have one of the biggest purses in auction, with a value of 32.7 crores.

Target Players of the Kolkata Knight Riders

The team has a great top order in a battling line-up and a great spin attack. But when it comes to their finishing department, Rinku Singh is their only hope. There is no guarantee that Russell can perform for the team like he used to do earlier. On the other hand, they need fast bowlers. The team needs not one but two fast bowlers.

• Mitchell Starc (Strengthen their pace attack)
• Pat Cummins (Strengthen their pace attack and can even contribute with the bat)
• Chris Woakes (Strengthen their pace attack and can even contribute with the bat)
• Khamlesh Nagarkoti (Strengthen their pace attack)
• Shivam Mavi (Strengthen their pace attack)
• Manish Pandey (Strengthen their middle order)
• Travis Head (Can bat at any position and contribute with the ball)
• Shahrukh Khan (Increase their finishing power)
