IPL 2022: Four teams which can reach the playoffs this season
Chennai Super Kings have been the most consistent side in IPL history.
3. Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders were one of the few teams that did well at the IPL Mega Auction. Shreyas Iyer will lead the franchise this season and will form a power-packed top order alongside Alex Hales and Venkatesh Iyer. Moreover, the franchise has someone as experienced as Ajinkya Rahane, who can be used at the top of the order.
The middle-order consists of Nitish Rana, and two finishers in the form of Andre Russell and Pat Cummins. Sunil Narine can be used as a pinch hitter, given his tendency to score runs at a blistering pace. KKR have an experienced fast bowling lineup in the form of Pat Cummins, Umesh Yadav, and Tim Southee.
They are also expected to give more game time to the Indian youngster, Shivam Mavi. The runners-up of last season are pretty well-rounded in their spin department as well, given they have the likes of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy. Someone like a Mohammad Nabi can also provide an added dimension to the side.
