Kolkata Knight Riders have assembled a batting lineup for IPL 2026 that combines power, depth and finishing ability. With multiple players capable of clearing the boundary at will, KKR look well equipped to dominate attacks, especially in high-scoring conditions.
Rinku Singh remains KKR’s most reliable and feared six-hitter. Known for his composure and ability to finish games under pressure, Rinku has repeatedly delivered match-winning blows in the death overs. His clean striking and confidence against both pace and spin make him a vital asset.
Rovman Powell adds brute force to KKR’s middle order. The West Indies batter is renowned for his ability to hit towering sixes, particularly against fast bowlers. Powell’s presence gives KKR a powerful enforcer during the middle and death overs.
Sunil Narine continues to be an impact hitter at the top or in floating roles. While primarily known for his bowling, Narine’s ability to clear the ropes early in the innings can quickly tilt momentum in KKR’s favour.
Cameron Greenacquired for a major sum at the auction, strengthens KKR’s power-hitting depth. The Australian all-rounder combines height, strength and timing, allowing him to hit long sixes straight down the ground and over the leg side.
Rahul Tripathi offers controlled aggression in the top and middle order. Though not a pure power hitter, Tripathi’s ability to clear the boundary regularly keeps the scoreboard moving at a brisk pace.
Find Allen provides explosive intent at the top. Known for his fearless approach, the New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter can take bowlers on from ball one and clear the ropes during the powerplay.
With a mix of proven finishers and aggressive top-order batters, Kolkata Knight Riders enter IPL 2026 with a batting unit capable of producing high-impact six-hitting performances across all phases of the innings.
