KKR Players Jersey Numbers 1 to 100: Complete Kolkata Knight Riders Guide

KKR players jersey numbers in this guide cover the IPL 2026 season listing and selected historical Kolkata Knight Riders listings from 2013, 2014, 2018 and 2020–2026, checked on 29 October 2026. The table gives a complete view of positions 1 to 100, but it does not claim to reconstruct every KKR season or every match appearance. A row is a season-linked player-number record; it is not automatically proof that a player was available for the whole campaign, appeared in a match or remains part of a future squad. Where the records do not support a number, the table says No verified assignment found rather than treating the position as officially unused.

Key takeaways

• Sunil Narine’s documented KKR number is 74, Varun Chakaravarthy’s is 29, Rinku Singh’s is 35 and Ajinkya Rahane’s 2026 number is 3.
• Rahul Tripathi’s final directory entry is 52 for 2020–2021 and 2026; the article does not use a different number for him.
• Phil Salt is listed at 28 for KKR in 2024, Nitish Rana at 36 for 2018 and 2020–2024, and Shreyas Iyer at 96 for 2022–2024.
• A 2026 initial listing can be followed by a replacement or withdrawal, so current-season context and shirt-number evidence must be read separately.
• Before buying, match the player name, KKR season, franchise and number rather than ordering a number-only shirt.

How to read KKR franchise jersey numbers

A franchise jersey number is a season-specific team identifier. It is not automatically the same as a player’s India, West Indies, Australia, New Zealand or other international shirt number. It is also not a database ID, squad serial number or number created by a custom-printing service. A familiar player may therefore have one number in a KKR season record and another number for a representative side or a different franchise.

This guide uses explicit KKR season listings for 2013, 2014, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. That spread covers the 2013 and 2014 title-era records, later franchise periods and the 2026 squad picture without pretending to be a complete year-by-year database. The cutoff is 29 October 2026, and nothing here confirms a 2027 KKR squad or a future shirt assignment.

The table uses three practical status ideas. A Historical season listing belongs to an earlier KKR period and should not be read as a current-squad statement. A 2026 season listing; not 2027 confirmation records a number in the 2026 season material but does not promise that the player will remain with KKR. An initial listing; replaced label records the announced number while also naming the dated roster change. No verified assignment found means that this directory does not support a usable number for that position; it does not mean KKR formally retired or left the number vacant.

Roster membership and shirt number are separate facts. Akash Deep’s initial 2026 listing was followed by Saurabh Dubey replacing him on 24 March. Harshit Rana’s initial listing was followed by Navdeep Saini replacing him on 25 March. The season record also identifies Luvnith Sisodia as the replacement for Matheesha Pathirana and marks several 2026 names as withdrawn. Those distinctions matter when a fan wants a shirt for an active end-of-season player rather than a record of the announced squad period.

For comparison with another type of shirt record, readers can use the Indian cricket jersey numbers directory.

Complete KKR jersey-number directory: 1 to 100

The directory below preserves every position from 1 through 100. Repeated numbers appear on separate rows because a number can be associated with different KKR players in different seasons. The table includes player role, nationality, season association and status so that a historical entry is not mistaken for a 2026 availability statement.

What the directory reveals

The table shows why a one-line KKR squad number list can be misleading. Number 3 links Jacques Kallis in 2013–2014 with Ajinkya Rahane in the 2022 and 2025–2026 listings. Number 23 connects Gautam Gambhir, Kuldeep Yadav, Siddhesh Lad and Navdeep Saini across separate periods. Number 42 links Brendon McCullum and Rasikh Dar historically with Cameron Green’s 2026 listing. These are not contradictions: the franchise can reuse a number, and a directory can record different seasons without claiming permanent ownership.

The 2026 rows also need status reading. Akash Deep’s number 11 and Harshit Rana’s number 22 are initial listings with replacement context. Matheesha Pathirana’s number 81 remains a 2026 season listing even though Luvnith Sisodia is recorded as his replacement. Rachin Ravindra, Mustafizur Rahman and other withdrawal-labelled names should likewise not be described as active end-of-season players merely because their announced-season rows remain in the directory.

Rahul Tripathi’s directory entry is 52 for 2020–2021 and 2026. That is the number used in this article; the profile and FAQ do not substitute another number. Rovman Powell also appears at 52 for 2025–2026, so a named shirt is safer than a number-only order. Shared rows record the franchise periods, not permanent personal ownership.

Prashant Solanki is a 2026 KKR acquisition, but the final directory contains no confirmed jersey-number row for him. His shirt number should therefore be treated as unsettled: this guide does not assign him a number or recommend a number-only purchase. Out-of-range values such as 333, 103, 800 and 451 are not positions in this 1–100 directory and are not used as KKR shirt assignments.

The documented 2026 KKR roster picture

Captain and top-order options

Ajinkya Rahane is listed at 3 and identified as KKR’s captain in the 2026 record. His association also includes 2022 and 2025, so the number is best understood as a dated franchise detail. KKR’s 2026 batting group also includes Angkrish Raghuvanshi at 18, an Indian top-order batter listed from 2024 through 2026, and Rinku Singh at 35, whose table association runs from 2018 through 2026.

Manish Pandey appears at 9 in the directory for 2014 and 2024–2026. His 2014 final contribution is recorded as 94 from 50 balls, while the 2026 season material records his later KKR involvement. The innings is a specific title-match contribution, not a claim about every season. Rahul Tripathi’s 52 and Ramandeep Singh’s 19 complete two different parts of the recent batting map: Tripathi is a top-order batter, while Ramandeep is listed as a middle-order batter and seam option.

All-round balance and bowling options

Cameron Green’s 42 is a 2026 listing for an Australian batting all-rounder. His auction price of INR 25.20 crore belongs to the 2026 auction context, not to a jersey price or a promise of playing time. Anukul Roy’s 45 is listed from 2022 through 2026 as an Indian all-rounder and slow left-arm orthodox option. Rovman Powell’s 52 is listed for 2025–2026 as a West Indies middle-order batting all-rounder. Sunil Narine’s 74 connects the current-era table with one of KKR’s longest-running player associations.

Varun Chakaravarthy’s 29 is listed from 2020 through 2026 for an Indian bowler described in the table as a legbreak googly option. Daksh Kamra’s 63 is a 2026 Indian all-rounder listing, but the directory does not turn that row into a match-appearance claim. Vaibhav Arora’s 14, Finn Allen’s 16, Sarthak Ranjan’s 4 and Tejasvi Dahiya’s 21 are also 2026 season listings. None is a 2027 confirmation.

KKR’s season picture changed through dated replacements: Saurabh Dubey replaced Akash Deep, Navdeep Saini replaced Harshit Rana, and Luvnith Sisodia replaced Matheesha Pathirana. The KKR 2027 retained, released and trade guide can provide roster context, but retention status is not jersey-number proof and a jersey-number row is not a guarantee of a future squad place.

Notable KKR players and what their numbers represent

Sunil Narine: 74 across a long KKR arc

Sunil Narine’s documented KKR number is 74. The table records it for 2013–2014, 2018 and 2020–2026 and identifies him as a West Indies bowling all-rounder and right-arm offbreak option. That long run makes 74 one of the clearest KKR player-number associations, while the season label still keeps the claim precise.

Narine took 21 wickets in KKR’s 2014 title season, including 4/20 in a major performance. In 2026, the dated season examples include 2/26 against Rajasthan Royals and a Super Over contribution in which he took both wickets against Lucknow Super Giants. A “Narine 74” shirt is a named player choice, not a generic number-only design and not a West Indies shirt.

Rinku Singh: 35 and finishing responsibility

Rinku Singh is listed at 35 from 2018 through 2026 as an Indian middle-order batter. The repeated association explains why 35 is a strong current-era KKR choice, while the 2026 status still stops short of a 2027 promise. His number should be read with his name because numbers can be reused across franchise periods.

The dated 2026 match examples show the contribution behind the visibility of that shirt. Rinku made an unbeaten 53 in the 19 April match against Rajasthan Royals. On 26 April he made 83 not out from 51 balls against Lucknow Super Giants, took four catches and was named Player of the Match. Those innings illustrate finishing under pressure and fielding value without requiring an invented explanation for why he chose 35.

Varun Chakaravarthy: 29 and middle-over control

Varun Chakaravarthy’s KKR number is 29 for the 2020–2026 listings. The table identifies him as an Indian bowler with a legbreak-googly style. A 2026 example records 3/14 against Rajasthan Royals, illustrating his middle-over impact without turning one match into a season-total claim.

For a buyer, Varun 29 should be ordered with the player name and intended season. A product showing another number without season context deserves a check before purchase.

Ajinkya Rahane: 3 and the 2026 captaincy context

Ajinkya Rahane’s 3 appears in the 2022 and 2025–2026 KKR season listings, with the 2026 row identifying him as captain. He is an Indian batter, and the table’s number is a franchise-season record rather than an inference from his international career. The 2026 season material reports 14 matches and 335 runs, with a 21 off 17 contribution in a 20 May win over Mumbai Indians.

After a roster change, match a retailer’s captain label to the player name and season rather than assuming the number remains attached to the role forever.

Cameron Green: 42 in the 2026 squad

Cameron Green is listed at 42 for KKR in 2026 as an Australian batting all-rounder. Dated season material records batting and bowling involvement, including two early wickets against Mumbai Indians. Number 42 also appears with Brendon McCullum and Rasikh Dar in historical KKR rows, so “Green 42” is clearer than ordering 42 alone.

An auction acquisition can share a number with earlier players, so Green’s 42 should not be extended into a 2027 claim.

Anukul Roy, Rovman Powell and Rahul Tripathi

Anukul Roy’s 45 covers 2022–2026. As an Indian all-rounder who offers slow left-arm orthodox bowling, he represents the balance captured in the table’s role column. On 19 April 2026 he made an unbeaten 29 against Rajasthan Royals, a useful match-specific contribution rather than a season-total statement.

Rovman Powell’s 52 is a 2025–2026 West Indies middle-order batting all-rounder listing. Rahul Tripathi also appears at 52, with KKR listings in 2020–2021 and 2026. The shared number is precisely why the player name and season should accompany the print. Prashant Solanki should not be grouped with these confirmed rows: his 2026 number is absent from the final directory and remains unsettled.

The 2014 title-era bridge

The 2014 title records show how a franchise contribution and a shirt number answer different questions. Manish Pandey’s 94 in the final, Robin Uthappa’s 660-run Orange Cap season and Yusuf Pathan’s 72 from 22 balls are dated performance facts. Their directory rows are Pandey 9 for 2014 and later seasons, Uthappa 77 for 2014 and 2018, and Pathan 17 for 2013–2014.

Sunil Narine’s 74, Jacques Kallis’s 3, Gautam Gambhir’s 23 and Umesh Yadav’s 37 also appear in the selected title-era records, with roles and nationalities shown in the table. A championship team is not represented by one number; the directory preserves the player, role, nationality and season together.

Historical bridge: Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer, Harshit Rana and Phil Salt

Nitish Rana is listed at 36 for 2018 and 2020–2024 as an Indian batter. Shreyas Iyer is listed at 96 for 2022–2024 as an Indian batter and KKR captain in 2022–2024. Neither historical row should be used to call the player part of the 2026 KKR squad.

Harshit Rana’s 22 covers 2022–2026, but the 2026 status is an initial listing followed by his replacement by Navdeep Saini on 25 March 2026. It is accurate to call 22 a documented KKR association and initial 2026 listing; it is not accurate to call him an active end-of-season 2026 player solely because the row remains in the directory.

Phil Salt is listed at 28 for KKR in 2024 as an English wicketkeeper-batter. That is the final table association used here. The row is historical, not a 2026 or 2027 squad claim, and it should not be combined with another number from an earlier or unrelated listing.

Current, former and uncertain assignments

Four categories make the directory easier to use:

1. 2026 season listings: Rahane, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Anukul Roy, Ramandeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Rovman Powell, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakaravarthy, Rahul Tripathi, Cameron Green, Daksh Kamra and the other 2026 rows. The label records the season and does not confirm 2027 or guarantee end-of-season availability.
2. Historical KKR associations: Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer, Phil Salt, Robin Uthappa, Yusuf Pathan, Gautam Gambhir, Andre Russell, Dinesh Karthik, Shubman Gill and many others. These rows help fans choose a title-era or former-player shirt, but they are not current-squad claims.
3. Changed 2026 listings: Akash Deep, Harshit Rana and Matheesha Pathirana have replacement context. Saurabh Dubey, Navdeep Saini and Luvnith Sisodia appear in the season-change picture, while withdrawal labels remain distinct from an active end-of-season designation.
4. Unverified or unsettled positions: rows marked No verified assignment found must not be converted into guesses. Prashant Solanki has no number in this final directory and should not be assigned one.

The cutoff remains 29 October 2026. The article does not confirm a 2027 squad. Values outside the directory’s range, including 333, 103, 800 and 451, are not counted as positions 1–100. For cross-team comparison, the RCB players jersey numbers 1 to 100 guide and CSK players jersey numbers 1 to 100 guide keep the franchise and season attached to each number.

How to check a KKR jersey before buying

1. Choose the season first

Decide whether the shirt represents IPL 2026, a 2014 title-era design, a 2024 former-player season or a general KKR fan shirt. “Current” is date-sensitive. A 2026 listing is not a 2027 confirmation, and a historical row is not a current-squad guarantee.

2. Match four details

Check the franchise, player name, season and number together. Number 74 needs “Sunil Narine” to be useful. Number 52 can identify Rahul Tripathi or Rovman Powell in different KKR periods. Number 42 can identify Cameron Green in 2026 or a historical player in another season. The name on the back is as important as the number.

3. Separate franchise and international shirts

Do not infer a KKR number from an India, West Indies, Australia, England, New Zealand, Afghanistan, Bangladesh or South Africa shirt. The Indian cricket number directory is a comparison resource, not a substitute for the KKR season record.

4. Treat customisation as customisation

A seller can print almost any name and number on a shirt. The printing service does not prove that the player wore that number for KKR. If a product page offers only a blank name-and-number form, verify the intended season before ordering.

5. Recheck changed or unsettled entries

Narine 74, Varun 29 and Rinku 35 are useful starting points, but the date still matters. Harshit Rana 22 has replacement context, and Prashant Solanki has no number in the final directory. Do not turn an absent or unsettled record into a confident shirt recommendation.

6. Check spelling, role and seller details

Cameron Green and Chris Green occur in different KKR rows, and several numbers are shared. Compare the full name, nationality, role and season. Save the product description and inspect the final personalisation before accepting an order. For wider IPL role context, the most dangerous bowler in IPL comparison may be useful, but a role ranking is not jersey-number evidence.

KKR jersey-number FAQs

What is Sunil Narine’s KKR jersey number?

Sunil Narine’s documented KKR number is 74. The table records it for 2013–2014, 2018 and 2020–2026, with the 2026 row still marked as a season listing rather than a 2027 confirmation.

What is Varun Chakaravarthy’s KKR jersey number?

Varun Chakaravarthy is listed at 29 for KKR from 2020 through 2026. It is the season-qualified number used in this directory.

What is Rinku Singh’s KKR jersey number?

Rinku Singh is listed at 35 from 2018 through 2026 as an Indian middle-order batter.

Is Ajinkya Rahane’s KKR number 3?

Yes. Ajinkya Rahane appears at 3 in the KKR listings for 2022 and 2025–2026, with the 2026 row identifying him as captain. That is a dated franchise record, not a permanent future assignment.

What is Rahul Tripathi’s KKR jersey number?

The final directory records Rahul Tripathi at 52 for 2020–2021 and 2026. Use the player name and season with the number; do not treat an unrelated or earlier claim as a substitute for this table entry.

What are Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer and Phil Salt’s KKR numbers?

Nitish Rana is listed at 36 for 2018 and 2020–2024. Shreyas Iyer is listed at 96 for 2022–2024, and Phil Salt is listed at 28 for 2024. These are historical table associations, not 2026 or 2027 squad confirmations.

Is number 22 currently Harshit Rana’s KKR number?

Number 22 is a documented KKR association for Harshit Rana from 2022–2026, but the 2026 row is an initial listing followed by his replacement by Navdeep Saini on 25 March 2026. Do not describe him as an active end-of-season 2026 player solely because the row appears.

Does the directory assign a number to Prashant Solanki?

No. Prashant Solanki is part of the 2026 KKR season context, but no jersey number is present for him in the final 1–100 directory. This guide does not assign any number to him.

Are all KKR jersey numbers from 1 to 100 assigned?

No. Several positions say No verified assignment found. That wording means the directory does not support a usable assignment; it does not prove that KKR officially left those numbers vacant.

Does this article confirm KKR’s 2027 squad?

No. The cutoff is 29 October 2026. The article records 2026 and earlier season associations but does not establish a 2027 squad or future shirt ownership.

Conclusion

This KKR jersey number guide works best as a season map rather than a permanent ownership register. It covers the documented 2026 listings and selected historical KKR seasons from 2013, 2014, 2018 and 2020–2026, while displaying every position from 1 to 100. Sunil Narine’s 74, Varun Chakaravarthy’s 29, Rinku Singh’s 35 and Ajinkya Rahane’s 3 are useful starting points, but the status column matters just as much as the number.

Historical players, replacement-labelled entries, shared numbers and unsupported positions need different wording. Before buying, match the player, number, KKR season and latest roster context. If the shirt represents a former title era, choose that identity deliberately; if it represents 2026, remember that the cutoff does not confirm 2027 availability. This approach gives fans a useful KKR player number list without pretending that the selected seasons reconstruct every shirt ever used or every match appearance.
