Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-time best XI in IPL history
The Kolkata-based team is the 3rd most successful team in the IPL and they have never lost an IPL final.
10. Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep is a left arm-chinaman bowler who is one-half of Indian’s spin-twin duo which also consists of Yuzvendra Chahal. He hasn’t been a long term member of the team like some other names on this list, but his performances for both KKR and India in such a short space of time speaks volumes of the talent he possesses. Kuldeep will be looking to bounce back in this year’s IPL after having a bad outing last year.
His exploits across all formats of the game while on national duties is impressive, to say the least, and he has proven his worth with 108 wickets at a strike rate of 15.9 in T20 matches too. Due to his uniqueness as a chinaman bowler, he often concedes a lot of runs but his tally of wickets make up for the extra runs conceded. He took 12 and 17 wickets in the 2017 and 2018 seasons respectively.
Overall Kuldeep Yadav has picked up 39 wickets in 40 matches for Kolkata Knight Riders. Following the departure of Piyush Chawla and Sunil Narine’s decreasing ability to pick up wickets, Kuldeep has to carry the mantle of the side’s bowling over the next few seasons and I have no doubt in him doing exactly what is expected of him.
