IPL 2018 Auction: 4 best buys by Kolkata Knight Riders

Mitchell Starc

Bowlers who bowl at 150 clicks are very rare in this era, those who do can't swing the ball much. Mitchell Starc can do both and to add to that he can spear in a fast swinging yorker at the death.

All these qualities make him a lethal attacker, and KKR have been pretty smart in choosing the leader of their attack. His presence would also help the likes of Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti.
