  1. Eoin Morgan – A fine middle-order batsman from England, Morgan, has a wide array of shots in his pool. He is a busy batsman with a typical technique who is known for his audacious stroke-making and unorthodox shots. With his skill to anchor the innings, as well as score, runs quickly whenever required, he has marked himself as a specialist limited-overs batsmen.
  2. Andre Russell – A brawny and gutsy hitter, Russell, is an absolute and sheer force. He is a mind-bogglingly powerful hitter, whose mistimed shots travel 100 meters at times! ‘Muscle-Russell’ an absolute monster who has no kindness to show to the bowlers. Apart from his volcanic batting, he is a more than capable right-arm quick real wicket-taking abilities. Russell is a champion fielder and loves throwing his athletic body with complete devotion when it comes to fielding.
  3. Sunil Narine – The Trinidadian mystery spinner has been an essential component of the KKR bowling line-up ever since 2012. With a plethora of options such as skidders, carom ball, the ‘doosra’, and knuckleball, he is an extremely versatile and miserly bowler who has been deceiving and restricting batsmen since ages. Apart from his skills with the ball, Narine is known for his dashing and courageous batting. In fact, he has been tried as an opener many times to score briskly during the power-play.
  4. Pat Cummins – The lanky and fiery speed-gun from Australia has established himself as a premier fast bowler over the years. Having been bought for a whopping 15.5 Crore by KKR in the auctions, Cummins is all set to spearhead his team’s pace attack. He has a slender frame and his fierce pace coupled with lethal lines makes a deadly combination that is good enough to rattle any batsmen in the world.
