England's World Cup winner Eoin Morgan might be on KKR's radar for the 2020 season. Morgan, who was unsold in the 2019 auction, is likely to be a hot commodity in the upcoming one.

The English ODI skipper is a busy batsman in the middle order and has the ability to score runs at a quick pace. He can play the big shots with ease, which was evidenced in the 2019 World Cup.

During IPL 2019 KKR lacked a player in the middle order who could play the role of a finisher, and Morgan would fit the ball perfectly in that regard. Also, Morgan with his captaincy experience can provide inputs to Dinesh Karthik, who has looked short of ideas at times.

Morgan is no stranger to the KKR team, having played for them from 2011 to 2014. He will certainly be on the radar of many teams in the upcoming auction, and KKR would do well to fight off the competition and get his signature for the 2020 season.
