• English pacer Luke Wood and opener-wicketkeeper Tom Banton are among KKR's targets, known for their strong T20 performances.
• Australian all-rounder Cameron Green is being considered to bolster the team after the release of Andre Russell.
• New Zealand opener Devon Conway and Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana are also on KKR's radar to strengthen the top order and death bowling.
