IPL 2018: 5 reasons why Kolkata Knight Riders can win IPL XI

#2- Different roles make up a great spin-twin

Kuldeep Yadav

Sunil Narine enters the list for a second time, this time with Kuldeep Yadav as his partner. KKR's spin department is all set to be managed by this duo of Narine-Yadav. They have their work split up, which makes them the spin-twins to watch out for.

After remodelling his bowling action, there's no hiding from the fact that Narine, as a bowler, isn't the same that he used to be. While his knack of picking up wickets might have gone down, the fear of the Caribbean maestro still persists in the minds of the batters.

As a result, Narine is one of the most miser bowlers in the history of IPL, whose economy rate last year was below 7 runs per over, something that you don't get to see often in T20 cricket.

Kuldeep, on the contrary, is the wicket-taking option. The chinaman is never afraid to tempt the batters. While sometimes he was on the receiving end, owing to which his economy rate last year was over 8 runs per over, he often gets his reward.

Victimizing 12 batters last season in as many matches, Kuldeep is set to do the same task for KKR again.
