Kolkata Knight Riders retained two Caribbean players Andre Russel and Sunil Narine. Surprisingly Gautam Gambhir was left out, who had led them to two IPL titles. Another notable player who missed out on retention was Chris Lynn.

Last year, Lynn had a terrific IPL, who scored 295 runs in 7 matches with an astonishing strike rate of 180 and average of nearly 50. Currently he is playing Big Bash League and is looking in red hot form.

Lynn, on his day, can destroy any bowling and can take away the game in few overs. KKR has already used quota of two foreign players, which means they can not use right-to-match' cards for Lynn, and would go for a long bid in the auction.
