KKR made quite a few errors at the auction. They will now need to make amends. A few of their targets in IPL 2025 could be back on their wishlist for the next season. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two players KKR bid for in the IPL 2025 Auctions and might target again for IPL 2026.
Note: This list assumes the players below are released by their respective teams.
1) Mohammed Shami
KKR needs another experienced Indian pacer. Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora have done well, but they could crumble under pressure. In this regard, KKR could target their local boy, Shami. Shami had a poor run at SRH. The franchise might release him. Hence, he would be a good fit for the KKR side.
2) Abhinav Manohar can be a KKR target for IPL 2026
Abhinav Manohar was not in great form in IPL 2025. SRH anyway, now have the services of Aniket Verma. Hence, they could afford to release Abhinav. On the other hand, KKR might think beyond Ramandeep Singh. Abhinav is a player with a similar skillset. He has the ability to play a long inning, and that could tempt KKR to go for him. Since he plays spin well, he could also operate at No.4.
