#4 Kolkata Knight Riders - Joe Denly

Kolkata Knight Riders did exceedingly well in the 2018 edition of IPL, despite having minimal resources in their squad. 2019 auction saw them buy five overseas players to strengthen their squad. England's Joe Denly has been picked up by an IPL team for the first time.

Knight Riders have a strong core of overseas players. With Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell, they have probably the best T20 players in their line-up. These three impact players will be in the line-up for every match and the fourth overseas player could be a fast bowler.

Knight Riders have a strong top-order and it would be difficult for any player to find a spot in the line-up. Joe Denly is added as a backup player and with if there are no injury issues, Denly might sit out for the entire duration of the tournament.
