KKR will enter the IPL 2026 mini-auction with a massive ₹64.3 crore purse, the highest among all teams, giving them strong buying power.
After releasing Quinton de Kock and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, KKR has no wicketkeeper-batsman in their squad, making this their top recruitment priority.
Tim Seifert emerges as a key target due to his explosive opening ability and experience as a full-time wicketkeeper in global T20 leagues.
Josh Inglis is another major option thanks to his versatility-he can open, play in the middle order, and finish games with a high strike rate
Devon Conway, recently released by CSK, is a strong contender for KKR as a consistent top-order performer and reliable wicketkeeper.
KKR’s auction strategy suggests a major squad rebuild, with these three overseas wicketkeepers likely forming the core of their IPL 2026 planning.
