The former champions paid INR 12.25 crore for India’s limited-overs middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer, who is their most expensive signing this season.
At the IPL 2022 mega auction, the Kolkata Knight Riders more than made up for the loss of their key players by welcoming old and new players to their squad. They also made some wise acquisitions by outbidding the competition in order to lay a solid foundation as the franchise looks to continue its legacy.
