The IPL 2025 mega auction is scheduled to be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on November 24 and 25. All the 10 franchises have confirmed their retention ahead of the mega auction and will form a new squad for IPL 2025. One of the franchises to look out for in the mega auction will be Kolkata Knight Riders. The defending champions have used their all six retention options, and as expected, they have to fill some key slots in their squad for the IPL 2025.
Kolkata Knight Riders have retained Rinku Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, and Ramandeep Singh ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. However, the defending champions will be needing to target some big players, especially in the batting and the fast bowling side of things. In the following listicle, we will have a look at the five players KKR can target in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
KKR possible buys in IPL 2025 mega auction
Jos Buttler
After releasing Phil Salt ahead of the mega auction, KKR need to fill one opening slot along with Sunil Narine. For that, they can target England’s white-ball skipper Jos Buttler, who was released by Rajasthan Royals. Buttler had a great outing in the last few editions of the IPL, and has played many match-winning knocks for RR. With Sunil Narine as his opening partner, Buttler can turn out to be a great buy for KKR in IPL 2025.
