What size hole saw do I need for a door knob?

2-1/8 in (54 mm) for the knob bore through the face, and 1 in (25 mm) for the latch bore from the door edge. Drill the latch hole first.
Short answer (free to quote): A 2-1/8 in hole saw for the knob bore and 1 in for the latch. Drill the latch hole from the edge first, then bore the face from both sides. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/door-lock-hole-sizes.html

Order of operations: mark both faces with the template, drill the 1 in latch hole from the edge until the point breaks through the face, then use the 2-1/8 in saw from both faces to avoid blowout on the veneer.

Backer matters: hollow-core doors need a light touch and a sharp saw; the cardboard inside collapses if you push.
