Back in 2015 they retained 16 players from 2014 squad while this year they also going with the same strategy with retaining 15 players who were part of 2014 IPL success for Kolkata. Currently looking at the list of retained player Kolkata lacks quality middle order batsmen and hard hitters down the order and thats what they will be going after in the Auction.

Expectations ?
Kolkata has kept Jacquis Kallis as team mentor and batting consultant for 2016 season and they will need him alot looking at their possible batting lineup. Gambhir is very consistent in the opening slot but they need big hitters who can turn things around. Yuvraj Singh is available in the auction and Kolkata will go all out to buy him along with couple of fast bowlers to strengthen and bring balance to the squad.
