Kolkata Knight Riders' IPL 2022 auction strategy received mixed reviews. It went big for captain Shreyas Iyer and tried to buy back as many of its old players as possible, including Pat Cummins, Shivam Mavi and Nitish Rana. Brendon McCullum remains the head coach and KKR looks set to be back with its exciting brand of cricket.

Venkatesh Iyer is expected to open the batting after having a breakthrough second half in last year's IPL. KKR let go of Shubman Gill, who was the second opener last year and had a successful outing. KKR needs to get its opening combination right and have a few options to look at.

As we get closer to IPL 2022, let's take a look at the possible opening combinations for KKR.
