Tom Curran
Sam Karan's brother Tom Karan, the most expensive player in IPL history, can become the replacement of Shakib Al Hasan. Tom is an all-rounder player who was priced at INR 1.50 crores in the IPL auction but no one showed interest in him. However, things have changed now, with Shakib having pulled out of the IPL, so Kolkata Knight Riders may sign him as Shakib's replacement. Tom Karan has scored 127 runs and taken 13 wickets in 13 IPL matches. He can strengthen KKR.
Wayne Parnell
South African bowling all-rounder Wayne Parnell can also prove to be a good player as Shakib's replacement. Parnell went unsold in the auction at his base price of 75 lakhs. He has taken a total of 63 runs and 26 wickets in 26 matches in the IPL so far. Parnell hasn't got to bat much in his career but he knows the art of taking wickets and hitting some big sixes.
Dasun Shanaka
Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka can also become a good replacement for Shakib. Shanaka's base price in IPL auction 2023 was only Rs 50 lakhs, but despite this no one bid on him. Shanaka can contribute for his team with both batting and bowling. Shanaka has taken a total of 1328 runs and 23 wickets in 85 T20 matches.
