Rating the teams based on finishers in IPL 2020
The teams did their best to assemble decent finishers in their squad during the auction.
5. Kolkata Knight Riders (8/10)
The two-time champions of the league, the Kolkata Knight Riders, after the initial hiccups, during the initial seasons of the tournament, have morphed into a team that has the capability to defend or chase any total.. Especially their death batting has helped them a lot over the years, transforming into a talent pool that any team in the tournament would like to take a dip into.
Leading the pack of finishers for this season for KKR will be their captain Dinesh Karthik, assisted by the likes of talented youngsters like Nitish Rana and Shubman Gill. And their trump card in crunch situations, Andre Russell is always there to provide an unparalleled boost to their team’s total in the last few overs of their innings. They have had a great set of players in the bottom half of their batting line-up and will be looking forward to capitalising on their abilities to chase down or set big totals in the league.
The only thing that they will have to worry about this season will be the absence of an experienced campaigner like Robin Uthappa who was bought by the Rajasthan Royals. The void that he left in the line-up will have to be filled by a likely talented and experienced player from the 23 players they have at hand this season.
