Given how Kolkata Knight Riders faired in the first leg of the tournament, perhaps, no one would have thought that the franchise would go on to reach the finals. KKR were languishing at second from the bottom of the table after the India leg of IPL 2021 was suspended in May.
However, they made a fantastic turnaround in the second leg of the tournament and went on to reach the finals. They might have lost the final to CSK but won several hearts.

Ahead of the Mega Auction taking place next year, it would be difficult for KKR to choose their four retentions. In this article, we look at three players that Kolkata Knight Riders can target in IPL 2022 Auction.
IPL 2022 Auction: 3 Players KKR Can Target
Shardul Thakur
With only three Indians to be retained by each franchise, Chennai Super Kings will have to release Shardul Thakur from the squad. If he gets into the auction pool, Kolkata Knight Riders are likely to splurge money on him. Thakur’s variations with the ball come in handy in T20 cricket.
Add to that, he will add depth to the batting unit. KKR failed to make a strong finish in the death overs due to the lack of form from T20 specialists such as Eoin Morgan, Andre Russell, and Dinesh Karthik. Keeping that in mind, Kolkata Knight Riders would be wanting to add more depth in their batting unit.
Jason Holder
There is no denying the fact that Jason Holder is one of the biggest assets for any team in T20 cricket. He troubles the opposition with his accurate lengths and the bounce that he extracts from the surface.
Plus, he has got the ability to hit huge sixes during the fag end of the innings. Jason Holder dished out outstanding performances for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2021. Kolkata Knight Riders are likely to put their bet on him in the IPL 2022 Auction.

Dwayne Bravo
Dwayne Bravo’s addition could make KKR a formidable T20 unit. The franchise would be happy to include one of the best T20 bowlers in their set-up. He has played a pivotal role for CSK over the years but is unlikely to be retained ahead of the mega auction. Bravo could be KKR’s designated death-over bowler and also add depth to their batting unit.
