Morne Morkel/ John Hastings

Morne Morkel

With a side that is packed with spinners, Morne Morkel is that quick bowler that renders balance to the team, and he will run in with the new ball and will look to hustle the batsmen with hostile pace and steep bounce. He has been a consistent performer for KKR over the years too.

However if the team is looking at current form, John Hastings might just get a nod ahead of Morne Morkel. The big burly fast bowler from Victoria has enjoyed a purple patch of late and did quite well against India during their recent tour and was in the Australian T20 squad. He generally angles the ball into the batsman and is also good at the death with his yorkers and changes of pace. He is also a capable lower order batsman, so he might be included to elongate the batting if the need may arise.
