Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) added 10 new players to their squad, including Mitchell Starc for an IPL record fee of INR 24.75 crore. The second-most expensive pick of the auction for KKR was Mujeeb Ur Rahman, who came in for INR 2 crore.
KKR’s top-seven is likely to remain intact from the previous season, except for the return of skipper Shreyas Iyer from an injury-enforced break, while its bowling will have a fresh look with the addition of Starc, Mujeeb and Chetan Sakariya.
The two-time champion will be led by Shreyas Iyer. The addition of wicketkeeper-batter KS Bharat will provide KKR with some flexibility in team building. In this article, we will explore the predicted playing 11 of Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2024.
