IPL 2019: Powerplay bowling options for each team

#4 Kolkata Knight Riders

Andre Russell

Kolkata Knight Riders have an inexperienced seam bowling attack in IPL 2019. Shivam Mavi, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, and Prasidh Krishna are the only notable Indian seamers in the squad. Lockie Ferguson will have to play a huge role for them with the new ball. Andre Russell and Piyush Chawla could be handy in the power play overs. Narine might bowl an over or two if required.

Likely powerplay bowlers: Ferguson, Russell, Chawla, Nagarkoti/Mavi, Narine

#3 Royal Challengers Bangalore

Umesh Yadav

Umesh Yadav was sensational for RCB last season with the new ball and is expected to continue in the role. Nathan Coulter-Nile and Mohammed Siraj are the other seamers who will likely feature for RCB this season.

They also have Washington Sundar to bowl some off-spinners to the left-handers in the first six overs. Chahal and Stoinis will most likely bowl in the middle overs.

Likely powerplay bowlers: Coulter-Nile, Siraj, Umesh, and Sundar
