KKR have a lot of gaps to plug at the auction, considering the side released many big names at the trade deadline. KKR had a sub-par season in 2019 and wEre saved only by Andre Russell's heroics and Shubman Gill's timely knocks. Their bowling was poor and their pace battery failed miserably.

They need to address the latter issue at the auction, and will be looking to sign someone like Dale Steyn.

The fiery Proteas pacer has made a brilliant comeback from injury while playing for the Cape Town Blitz in MSL 2019. He's the leading wicket-taker in the tournament with 15 wickets in just 8 games at an economy of just 7.09, and averages a fantastic 15.13.

Steyn played for RCB last season and picked up 4 wickets in two games before sustaining an injury which ruled him out of the season.

Now that he's back in the auction pool, a team like KKR will be desperate to get him. He's very experienced and has picked up close to 250 T20 wickets. He can bowl at all stages of the game and does well during the death overs.

Steyn is in great form and he can add a lot of value to the side if signed at the auction.
