Bengaluru, Feb 18: Heading into the auction for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had 10.85 crores in their wallet.

Ahead of the auction the Kolkata team had 17 players in their roster. With most of their key players retained, the Knights have not made any big buys but the scalp of Shakib al Hasan was their prized scalp.

The Eoin Morgan-led side added Shakib al Hasan to their squad for 3.2 crores. With Sunil Narine, Andre Russell’s form slightly dipping, adding the top T20 all rounder to their side for just 3.2 crores was a steal of a deal for the Kolkata outfit.

The Knights also added Harbhajan Singh to the squad, picking him up for his base price of 2 crores.

In the previous edition of the IPL, the Knights finished with 14 points from as many matches, but missed out on a playoff berth due to their poor run rate.
