KKR squad, IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders final team and projected XI with full list of players and price tags after IPL mega auction

Reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) focused on retaining the core of their successful squad. They achieved this by re-signing key players, including a marquee acquisition of Venkatesh Iyer for Rs 23.75 crore.
However, their attempt to retain Nitish Rana fell short, prompting the inclusion of experienced middle-order batters Manish Pandey and Ajinkya Rahane as replacements.
On the second day of IPL 2025 auction, KKR bolstered their bowling lineup with Spencer Johnson as a backup for Anrich Nortje. They also added depth to their international contingent by signing Rovman Powell and Moeen Ali. Despite these strategic moves, managing the playing XI could be challenging, particularly deciding between Pandey and Rahane.
With a compact squad of 21 players, KKR remain efficient in roster size and look well-prepared to defend their title, combining continuity with fresh talent.
