3 players KKR might release ahead of IPL 2024
For the upcoming IPL season, KKR’s endeavours will be to break ties with their out-of-form players and make some fine buys in the auction to be held in Dubai on December 19.
1. Lockie Ferguson
In November 2022, KKR traded Lockie Ferguson from Gujarat Titans (GT). The Kolkata-based outlet brought the New Zealand paceman to reinforce its fast-bowling unit. However, Knight Riders’ move proved ineffective as the Kiwi stalwart failed to be impactful for his side.
The speedster hit the headlines for bowling the fastest delivery of IPL which clocked 154.1 km/h against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium but his overall bowling numbers were completely disappointing. Playing three games, he got only one wicket at an economy of 12.52.
Ferguson hasn’t looked confident with the ball recently for his national side as well. In five T20Is played in 2023, he has bagged only three wickets at an economy of 10.68. Noting the 32-year-old’s ordinary bowling performances, KKR might not show faith in him to reinforce their pace attack.
