Harshal Patel is called a death over specialist and has also opened for his home team, that is, he knows how to bat along with bowling.
Shardul Thakur
People fondly call Shardul Thakur as Lord Thakur. Whenever the team needs a wicket, the captain turns to this player. There are very few players in India who know how to bat as well as bowl and Shardul Thakur is one of those few players. One thing is said in IPL that only that team becomes champion in this tournament which has good Indian players, hence the demand for Shardul Thakur is going to be very high this time. Even before this, Shardul Thakur has been a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders team and KKR needs a similar all-rounder.
Gerald Coetzee

This South African fast bowler had bowled brilliantly in the World Cup and took 20 wickets and now all the franchises will bid for this player in the IPL auction. Talking about KKR, this team would definitely want to invest in this player. Which can stop any batsman with new and old ball.
