Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) entered the IPL 2020 auction with the second-highest available purse (Rs 35.65 crore). This allowed KKR to go hammers and tongs in their bidding for talent. They spent more than a third of their available purse on Australian pacer Pat Cummins alone, buying him for Rs 15.5 crore. They were in a desperate need for a quality pace bowler as youngster Kamlesh Nagarkoti and all-rounder Shivam Mavi were not great in the previous two seasons.
