Ravichandran Ashwin

Ashwin was a key part of Rajasthan’s road to the IPL 2022 final. He took 12 wickets in the season with a best of 3/17. The veteran Indian spinner would be an ideal foil for someone like Sunil Narine. Narine and Ashwin bowling together would be a dream spin duo for KKR.

Prasidh Krishna

Prasidh Krishna was another KKR bowler who came back to haunt them in both the matches. He is a much-experienced bowler now in international cricket. The management can aim to bring him back and use him alongside Umesh Yadav. He took 19 wickets in IPL 2022.

Shimron Hetmyer

Hetmyer scored over 300 runs batting in the middle-order for Rajasthan Royals. With KKR also looking for a good middle-order batter, Hetmyer scored with a strike-rate touching close to 200 and scored some tough runs for his side. KKR would do good to get him on their side.
