KKR IPL 2026 Full Squad: Kolkata Knight Riders are vying to build a strong squad in the IPL 2026 mini auction. The IPL 2025 was a season to forget for the 3-time champions and now with renewed financial
strength, they will be looking to make the most of it.
The mini auction promises high-stakes bidding wars as teams rebuild for the upcoming seasons. Kolkata has the highest purse of 64.3 crore and they can literally buy anyone they want without even breaking a sweat.
For the upcoming IPL 2026 season, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) retained key players like Sunil Narine, Rinku Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Harshit Rana, Ajinkya Rahane, Anukul Roy, Ramandeep Singh, Vaibhav Arora, Manish Pandey, Rovman Powell, and Umran Malik, while making big releases including all-rounders Andre Russell and Venkatesh Iyer, along with wicket-keepers like Quinton de Kock and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, indicating a strategic shift towards a younger core and significant purse for the auction.
They are focusing on building a balanced, cohesive squad by blending established stars with emerging talent, signaling a fresh approach for IPL 2026.
With the likes of Cameron Green, Liam Livingstone, Matheesha Pathirana and Sarfaraz Khan in the fray, the 3rd-most successful team in the history of the IPL will mean nothing but business in Abu Dhabi.
It is quite unlikely that KKR would go after his ex players. But they can go for Quinton de Kock as he has been batting decently for the nation.
