Kolkata Knight Riders have a pretty balanced side with a good IPL record, winning the title 2 times (in 2012 and 2014). For this season, they purchased Windies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite for INR 5 crore. New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson has also been included in the squad.

For the opening pair, KKR will mostly choose from Robin Uthappa, Chris Lynn, and Sunil Narine. Shubman Gill, Dinesh Karthik, Nitish Rana, and Rinku Singh will support the middle order.

India’s left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav would be one of the key bowlers. With 140 wickets in IPL, Piyush Chawla has been a very successful bowler in this format. Lockie Ferguson and Kerela pacer Sandeep Warrier will be the fast bowlers to watch.

The franchise will start this year’s campaign on 24th March in Kolkata against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
