IPL 2016: 8 teams and the type of player they desperately lack

MS Dhoni-led Rising Pune Supergiants have been hit severely by the injuries to their key players

2. Kolkata Knight Riders

It is really hard to find a weakness within a side that has perhaps the best T20 players in their midst. KKR have probably the most balanced squad amongst all teams in the IPL and consequently, they sit at the top of the points table.

The team has it all, be it proper opening batsmen, a solid middle-order, powerful finishers, experienced spinners, or express fast bowlers. However, the side doesn’t have a specialist wicket-keeper.

Robin Uthappa has been donning the gloves for them for the past two seasons, but he is not a regular wicket-keeper as has been evident by the missed chances behind the stumps.

The only area left with a scope for improvement has been the one behind the stumps and the KKR think-tank can look for the possible changes.
