IPL 2020: Rating the spin-attacks of all the eight teams
Spin-bowling is expected to play a major role on slow and low decks in the UAE.
3) Kolkata Knight Riders (8.5/10)
Their spin bowling options: Sunil Narine, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, M Siddharth, Chris Green and Nitish Rana.
KKR’s spin bowling attack is powerfully packed with the likes of Sunil Narine, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy in their squad. The two-time champions are willing to add their third trophy to their vitrine under Dinesh Karthik’s captaincy.
Despite their poor show in the last year’s IPL, KKR’s spin attack is looking lethal with Kuldeep and Narine in their armoury. Narine just had an excellent CPL and is expected to continue his form in the IPL too. On the other hand, Kuldeep has became the go-to-bowler for India in limited-overs cricket in the recent past.
The franchise bought Chris Green and Varun Chakravarthy in the auction, and both could provide a good back-up option to their spin duo. With Nitish Rana expected to play the part-timer’s role, KKR’s spin-unit is looking balanced with both Indian and overseas options.
