KKR have released Tom Curran, Mitchell Johnson, and Mitchell Starc, who are all good overseas fast bowling options. They need reinforcements now and KKR would have picked young Shaheen Afridi if he was allowed to play in IPL.

Afridi has been a wily left-arm pacer who has been troubling the batsmen with his swing and angling deliveries. Hence, he would have been a good option for KKR in the current circumstances.

Delhi Daredevils - Imad Wasim

Imad Wasim has been Pakistan's go-to all-rounder in the limited overs format

Delhi Daredevils have given away most of their all-rounders in Dan Christian, Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma, and Gurkeerat Singh Mann. Most importantly, their spin options are limited to the inconsistent the Amit Mishra-Jayant Yadav duo and the inexperienced Sandeep Lammichane. Hence, Pakistan's leading spin bowling all-rounder Imad Wasim could have been a good pick for DD. He can be a good No.7 with his bat and can offer his full quota of 4 overs.
