KKR Squad IPL 2024 Auction: Kolkata Knight Riders Full Team, Retained Players, Auction Buys, Foreign Players, Salary: The Kolkata Knight Riders did strategically well in the IPL 2024 Auction, but they bought some players at high values. The Addition was a great move, and Gautam Gambhir’s presence in the auction led KKR to have some good buys.
Kolkata Night Riders had one of the highest purse values in the IPL 2024 Auction, which led them to go for some big names in their squad. However, there were quality bowlers in their team at high prices, which wasn’t needed from KKR as they had some better options. The Addition of Mitchell Starc for 24.75 crore to the squad is pretty much overpriced, as he returns after eight years in the IPL.
The Addition of young players is a good move from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), as these players might be the team’s future. KS Bharat was bought as a backup wicket-keeper, whereas Chetan Sakariya and Ramandeep Singh were bought for 50 Lakh each.
Overall, KKR did well, and they almost filled all their gaps from batting to bowling. However, The Inexperience in the top order is still a concern for them, but they have a strong middle order, including Skipper Shreyas Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, and Andre Russell.
