IPL 2018, playoffs: SWOT analysis of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

Weakness

Curran has not been consistent at all

Not everything is hunky-dory for the men from the east. Their fast bowling remains a concern and in many ways is one of the big impediments for Dinesh Karthik as the leader.

Mitchell Johnson and Tom Curran have not yet played a match-winning role in 14 games, Shivam Mavi has looked promising, but has not been able to translate that into consistent performances.

Prasidh Krishna has been impressive, but the rest of the unit remains a big problem for KKR in their eliminator.
