IPL 2027 auction: 3 Kolkata Knight Riders players who might not be retained

Kolkata Knight Riders are facing a critical leadership and roster review ahead of the upcoming mini-auction scheduled for December 16, 2026, in Goa. Following disappointing campaigns under Shreyas Iyer and subsequently Ajinkya Rahane, the franchise is evaluating potential squad cuts with the retention deadline set for November 17, 2026.

Among the high-profile overseas acquisitions under scrutiny are Rachin Ravindra, Matheesha Pathirana, and Cameron Green, whose hefty price tags and limited playing time during the previous season could prompt the management to look for alternatives on the auction market.
