Kolkata Knight Riders struggled for most of the season last year and failed to qualify for the play-offs due to Net Run Rate. Their key player Andre Russell failed to make an impact and it hurt them big time.
Eoin Morgan took over captaincy in the middle of the league and he lead the team very well. The most noticeable picks for KKR in the auction have been Shakib Al Hasan, Ben Cutting and Harbhajan Singh. Their bowling seems to be their strongest department with the likes of Pat Cummins, Lockie Ferguson, Narine and Varun Chakravarthy. Their batting looks decent with the likes of Shubhman Gill, Nitish Rana, Morgan, Karthik and Russell. For KKR to fire, they need some big contrbutions in the middle order and Russell needs to rise to the occasion.
Kolkata Knight Riders will play their first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 11th April at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
