IPL 2018: 4 reasons why KKR might win the tournament

#3 The strongest middle order

Dinesh Kartik will play a key role

Of all the three teams left in the tournament, KKR has the most consistent middle order. The right balance is imminent when you have two youngsters like Nitish Rana and Shubman Gill along with the calm Dinesh Karthik accompanied by the power hitter Andre Russell.

A brilliant example of their depth in this department is their win against RR. Moreover, Karthik being in form will be handy for the team as his ability to absorb pressure puts them in a stronger position to lift the cup.

Unlike Sunrisers, the strength of KKR lies in their ability to bat deep into the innings. Also, Andre Russell has the second highest strike rate in this edition of the IPL.
