Kolkata Knight Riders is another side that keeps their core group of players intact while adding some experience to their team, in every auction. Last year, they added Eoin Morgan to the franchise and his arrival helped in relieving Dinesh Karthik from the captaincy role. The two play a huge role in forming the middle-order and making it strong. 

Along with these two, there is Andre Russell. The West Indian is known as the X-Factor of the KKR squad. He can bat at any place in the batting order and can also give a few overs with the ball. In addition to that, he can change the momentum of any match when he is batting. The trio of DK, Morgan, and Russell is something that any bowling unit would fear to bowl to at the death. 

Another piece that binds the KKR franchise together, is opening batsman Shubman Gill. After making his Test debut, this season Gill would be high on confidence and will hopefully carry KKR’s batting once again. Pat Cummins is their leading fast-bowler, who is without a doubt the best pacer in the world right now.
