Earlier, in the players’ auction, KKR roped in the Windies T20I captain Carlos Brathwaite for a hefty amount. They also drafted in fast bowlers like Lockie Ferguson, Harry Gurney and Anrich Nortje for the IPL 2019.
The Knight Riders already have the likes of Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Chris Lynn, all of whom can turn out to be game changers on their days.
