When it comes to T20 leagues, the first name that hits our mind is the Indian Premier League (IPL). With an‘n’ number of watchers across the world, the pre-eminent league made its debut in 2008 and took over the corporate cricket ever since. The league keeps improving with each new appearance and so is the excitement of people towards it.

The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-vs-windies-bcci-announces-15-man-squad-for-the-last-three-odis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BCCI</a> owned tournament has turned out to be a festival in India and is equally sensational outside the subcontinent as well. Past eleven seasons have been a treat to watch and the twelfth edition is currently in the talks as the first trade window has already started taking shape.

Teams are in a race to eliminate and pick the best options before the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a> 2018 takes place. Meanwhile, the two-time winners, Kolkata Knight Riders would be looking to make the most of the first trade phase that expires in mid-November.

They are expected to release a few players ahead of the auctions and look to lift the trophy for the third time. Here are the players they are probably going to set free:

The fearsome left-arm pacer, Mitchell Johson retired from international cricket in 2015 after quite a successful career. He though continued to play competitive cricket till August this year. He finished with over 300 Test and 239 ODI wickets and is still considered as one of the quickest bowlers produced by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-t20i-squad-for-windies-series-and-australia-tour-set-to-be-announced/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia</a>. Apart from his fiery bowling skills, he contributed a good amount of runs for Australia down the order.

Johnson was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders during last season at his base price of 2 crores. However, he failed to make an impression as he scalped just two wickets in the six matches. As he also retired from all forms of cricket, it&#8217;s quite sure that Kolkata will release him ahead of the upcoming season.

Karnataka born cricketer, Vinay Kumar is among one of those Indian fast-bowlers who disappeared after a promising start. He made his international debut for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> in May 2010 and went on play 9 T20Is, 31 ODIs, and a single Test before facing a downfall in his career. Following his exit from the national team, Vinay Kumar continued to contribute for Karnataka in domestic cricket.

Though couldn&#8217;t maintain the consistency, owing to a lot of decrease in his pace. He had a forgettable IPL 2018 for KKR. In the only two matches, he bowled at a horrendous economy of 16.95, due to which he might be axed from the team ahead of the auctions.

Mitchell Starc, the Australian cricketer is one of the prime quick bowlers of the current generation. He bowls at an alarming pace and gets some late movement off the pitch as well. However, he hasn&#8217;t been able to prove his fitness as the tall pacer gets injured frequently.

He wasn&#8217;t able to play any matches during IPL 2018 due to an injury. Kolkata might release him and later get in some other available bowler. Dinesh Karthik-led KKR finished third in the group stage last year and lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2nd qualifier. Releasing Starc and above mentioned two players will give them the freedom to make moves in the auctions.
