IPL 2023 Auction: 3 Rajasthan Royals (RR) Players Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Can Target
Prasidh Krishna
Prasidh Krishna was another ex-KKR bowler who came back to haunt them in both matches last season. The 26-year-old is a much-experienced bowler now in international cricket. The KKR management can contemplate bringing him back to the franchise and using him alongside Umesh Yadav. Prasidh Krishna took 19 wickets in IPL 2022.
Shimron Hetmyer
Big-hitting Caribbean batsman Shimron Hetmyer scored over 300 runs batting in the middle order for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2022. With KKR is 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. It would do KKR good to get him on their side.
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.
