IPL 2017, Qualifier 2, KKR vs MI: 5 players to watch out for

#1 Nathan Coulter-Nile

Nathan Coulter-Nile has been outstanding for KKR

Nathan Courter-Nile has been one of the many fast bowlers Kolkata Knight Riders picked up during the auctions of this edition’s Indian Premier League. And whilst he might have got limited opportunities he has certainly grabbed them with both hands by striking for the Knight Riders at regular intervals.

Among all the KKR bowlers, he currently possesses the best bowling strike rate of 10.08, which shows the dominance he has had over the batsmen. He also has 14 wickets to show for in seven games and has been a thorn in the flesh for his rivals.

Coming into the all-important clash with Mumbai Indians, the Australian is in good shape as he was able to strangle the Sunrisers Hyderabad batsman with a Man of the Match performance. KKR will again be banking on Courter Nile for wickets to push the Mumbai Indians back.
