Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) were the centre of attraction in the IPL auction this time as they bought the most expensive player of the season. In fact, Pat Cummins almost became the second-highest paid player in the IPL auction. He’s been in wonderful form and has picked wickets across formats.

They also have Harry Gurney who is a proper T20 bowler while Lockie Ferguson’s pace might rattle the batsmen. But the problem has been the fitness of the Indian fast bowlers. Kamlesh Nagarkoti is recovering from injuries while Shivam Mavi has been dealing with a few of them. Meanwhile, Prasidh Krishna has been impressive but has also leaked runs and is injury-prone as well.

As far as spinners are concerned, Sunil Narine and Kuldeep Yadav will be leading the charge. Varun Chakravarthy, M Siddarth and Pravin Tambe have been picked up in this auction. Hence, KKR get 8.5.
