Kolkata Knight Riders have an association with Ferguson for three seasons. In 2020, 2021 and 2023, Ferguson played for KKR. In 2023, the star pacer did not get to play as many games as he would have liked. Given his price tag, KKR probably released him. But when on song, Ferguson won many matches for KKR with his might. For instance, in 2020, he won the match against SRH with his good death bowling. In the super over, he again helped KKR to dismiss SRH to a low score in the match.
In 2021, Ferguson was the key death bowler of KKR. They had the spinners who did most of the damage in the middle overs. But it was Lockie who controlled the back end of their play. Somehow, KKR did not pick him again in 2022. But in 2023, KKR got him in trade in exchange for Shivam Mavi with GT. Due to not so good performance in the season, KKR released him ahead of the IPL auction 2024. But if Lockie proves to be not so expensive, KKR would not mind buying him back in the auction.
