Summary
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) entered the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 auction with a clear plan, add explosive firepower and plug key gaps without disturbing their core too much. The three-time champions didn’t chase too many names but made a few decisive moves that shaped their squad for the upcoming season.
The biggest headline for KKR was the acquisition of Cameron Green for INR 25.20 crore, making him the most expensive overseas player in IPL history. The Australian all-rounder is expected to be the heartbeat of KKR’s middle order while also contributing with the ball. Another notable move was bringing back Rahul Tripathi for INR 75 lakh, a familiar face who knows the franchise well and adds flexibility to the top and middle order.
KKR also strengthened their wicketkeeping and power-hitting options by signing Finn Allen for INR 2 crore, banking on his ability to provide explosive starts. In the bowling department, the franchise went big on pace, securing Matheesha Pathirana for INR 18 crore, a move aimed squarely at fixing their death-overs woes. His unique slingy action gives KKR a genuine X-factor.
Among uncapped talents, Tejasvi Singh Dahiya was a smart pickup at INR 3 crore. The young wicketkeeper-batter impressed scouts with his fearless hitting and strong strike rate in domestic T20s, making him one of KKR’s most exciting bench options.
