The inclusion of former captain Gautam Gambhir as their mentor has boosted the plans and strategy of their auction in Dubai quite convincingly. If Eden Gardens going to prepare a spin-friendly track in most of the matches, Gambhir’s spin-oriented mentorship will help a lot in the upcoming IPL season.
The batting & spin department of the team of the core playing XI looks so strong and convincing. They needed a contingent upgrade in the pace department. And they have added Mitchell starc as the most expensive player in IPL history.
Let’s take a look at Kolkata Knight Rider’s player list for the IPL 2024
The two-time champion team released some expensive picks like Shardul Thakur and Lockie Ferguson. They could fill up 12 players (5 overseas players) with a huge purse of 32.7 crore. They were one of the busiest franchises in this auction.
While three overseas players (i.e. Jason Roy, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine) almost cemented their places in the playing XI, they needed a foreign premium pacer with a good Indian wicketkeeper. Now there are Mitchell Starc and KS Bharat in the core team. They needed the most important backup of Andre Russell. Sherfane Rutherford will be quite able to do that. Now they have a stronger squad to run into the upcoming season as they have Chetan Sakaria, Gus Atkinson and Mujeeb ur Rahman in their team.
