IPL Auction 2021: KKR will have Shakib Al Hasan on their shortlist
Currently, Kolkata Knight Riders have their overseas players Andre Russell, Pat Cummins, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Seifert, Sunil Narine, and Eoin Morgan. They will look to buy another couple who will give a full look to their team. They probably could do with Russell and Narine backups and could go for an overseas opener as well.

Shakib Al Hasan is currently one of the best all-rounders in the world, and having him on their shortlist will not hurt KKR. A reliable batsman and an outstanding bowler, given his versatility, the Bangladesh all-rounder would be a valuable player for most teams.

The former SRH player scored 5080 runs in 317 T20s and picked up 360 wickets. During the ODI series against West Indies, the 33-year-old was in great form as he scored 113 runs and picked up 6 wickets.

As he would provide fair competition for places and keep Andre Russell and Sunil Narine's likes on their toes, he could use KKR. Having such quality in the squad will also allow them to change their team depending on the circumstances and the opposition. In the past, Shakib also played for the Knight Riders.
