Kolkata Knight Riders retain 15 players for the IPL 2016 while releasing 10. Skipper Gautham Gambhir, Piyush Chawla, Robin Uthappa, Umesh Yadav, Yusuf Pathan, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were the big names who were preserved. It was surprising to find all-rounder Ryan ten Doeschate in the list of the released players. He was quite notable last season. It was also unexpected that Cariappa, the mystery spinner, who created waves last season after being signed for 2.4 crores released.

Players Retained: Gautam Gambhir, Kuldeep Yadav, Manish Pandey, Piyush Chawla, Robin Uthappa, Sheldon Jackson, Suryakumar Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Yusuf Pathan, Sunil Narine, Shakib Al Hasan, Morne Morkel, Chris Lynn, Brad Hogg and Andre Russell.

Players Released: Veer Pratap Singh, Aditya Garhwal, K.C Cariappa, Sumit Narwal, Vaibhav Rawal, Patrick Cummins, Ryan ten Doeschate, James Neesham, Azhar Mahmood, and Johan Botha.
