IPL 2018 Auction: 5 players Kolkata Knight Riders should target

Krunal Pandya: India

Easily the most popular uncapped Indian player

Easily the most popular uncapped Indian player, Krunal has been a big part of the Mumbai Indians' recent successes over the years. Having retained three Indian players, they aren't going to be able to use their RTM cards on him. His slow orthodox left arm spin has been astonishing over the past few years as not only has he been able to keep things tight, he's also picked up crucial wickets.

What makes him a brilliant T20 player is his batting ability. No slob with the bat, Krunal is second to none when it comes to batting down the order. He stands up when his team needs him the most, and has the ability to come up the order and take the attack to the opposition.
