One batsman each team could sign in IPL Auction 2019

Kolkata Knight Riders: Manan Vohra

Manan Vohra

Kolkata Knight Riders are one of the few teams that have all their bases covered going into the auction. They have two quality openers in Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine and their middle-order consist of the likes of Robin Uthappa, Nitish Rana, Shubman Gill, Andre Russell, and skipper Dinesh Karthik. All they need is a backup in case of an injury or if the player's national board calls the player back keeping the World Cup in mind.

Kolkata will look to get a reserve Indian opener and Manan Vohra is one name who fits the bill perfectly. Over the last few years, Vohra has shown his potential in the IPL playing for Kings XI Punjab before moving to Royal Challengers Bangalore, who released him ahead of the 2019 auction. Vohra can be a valuable addition to the KKR side and if needed, he can step up and deliver for them on a consistent basis.
