IPL 2026 Mini Auction: Top 3 players Kolkata Knight Riders should target for in the upcoming mini auction
Kolkata Knight Riders plan a major rebuild at the IPL 2026 Mini Auction. Here are the top 3 players to target.
Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders will be up for a major restructuring in the upcoming 2026 IPL Mini Auction. Armed with a massive budget, the Knight Riders are expected to engage in bidding wars with multiple teams to secure their preferred targets.
As implied, the team will primarily focus on players who can tick all the boxes across various departments. That said, let’s take a look at three players KKR should consider targeting in the 2026 IPL mini-auction.
1. Cameron Green
Cameron Green is projected to fetch a premium price during the IPL 2026 auction. He missed last year's mega-auction due to injuries and is scheduled to return to the league this season. KKR is one of the teams expected to show considerable interest in him.
His ability to contribute in numerous departments makes him an invaluable asset in the T20 format, giving them more options for squad combinations. While numerous other clubs are anticipated to offer for him, KKR's position as the team with the most money may give them a significant advantage. In 29 IPL matches, he has scored 707 runs with an impressive average of 42 and a strike rate of 153.70.
