Kolkata Knight Riders Team Preview
BATTING Camp
- Opening pair was a major point of concern for the team, more than half of the tournament is finished and the management tried 7 different pairs. Jason Roy and Rahmanullah Gurbaz provided a good start against PBKS.
- The middle batting order is composed of brilliant Indian batters who can change the match with their hitting skills. N Rana, V Iyer, and R Singh have performed very well in this season so far.
BOWLING Camp
- Spin bowling is the major plus point in KKR’s squad, they have quality spinners like – V Chakravarthy, S Narine, and Suyash Sharma in their team who are brilliant in the middle overs.
- Pace attack is not impressive having new Indian bowlers in the team. Harshit Rana has impressed everyone with his swing abilities.
KKR Possible Starting 11
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Jason Roy, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana (c), Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy

- Good news for the Rajasthan batting camp – Joss Buttler and Sanju Samson are back in their prime form where they scored 95 and 66 runs respectively.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal has been impressive throughout the season. Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel have good finishing abilities.
BOWLING Camp

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Joe Root, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Murugan Ashwin, Sandeep Sharma, Kuldeep Sen, Yuzvendra Chahal
