The IPL 2024 auction is almost here, and with the cricketing extravaganza approaching, the franchises have started to let go of their players who didn’t prove to be a worthy investment in the past season. The two-time title holders were knocked out of the previous tournament with a below-par performance throughout the season. KKR, under Nitish Rana, managed to register only six wins in their 14 league-stage games in IPL 2023 and finished the season at the number 7 spot.

Since the auction is around the corner, the KKR might consider making a few changes to their squad in order to make a notable comeback in the forthcoming season. Hence, they have released a few players who failed to make the most of their IPL opportunity with the franchise. The 2012 and 2014 players have a player purse of ₹1.65 crore.
