IPL 2017: Rating the bowling attack of each team

#2 Kolkata Knight Riders

KKR have been sensational with the ball

Unlike in previous seasons, the Kolkata Knight Riders do not have the most balanced team in this year’s IPL as their middle order has got exposed often. However, one thing that has remained the same has been their bowling attack. In spite of missing Andre Russell, the KKR team management did a fantastic job in filling the void left by the West Indian.

The fact that all the bowlers with the exception of Shakib Al Hasan, who has bowled just 3 overs in the tournament, have picked at least a wicket each shows how well they have complemented each other and bowled as a unit.

Unlike the previous seasons, Gambhir has relied more on his pacers and they have repaid the faith their skipper has shown in them. Chris Woakes has the most wickets with 10 but his economy (over 9.3) is something he has to work on. In spite of missing the first few matches, Umesh Yadav and Nathan Coulter-Nile have seven and eight wickets respectively. Their spinners have taken a combined total of 13 wickets with their frontline spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Sunil Narine accounting for six and four respectively.
