#4 Kolkata Knight Riders

The cricketing fraternity expected Kolkata Knight Riders to finish near the bottom of the table last season after the auction. They picked just 18 players last season and their star bowler; Mitchell Starc was ruled out of the season without playing a single game. They also did not have the best overseas back-ups in the squad.

Despite all this, they finished 3rd in the table. A big reason behind this was because of Dinesh Karthik's captaincy. His deputy was Robin Uthappa and he will most likely perform the role this year too. An experienced campaigner, Uthappa has been a part of the Indian Premier League in all 11 seasons and has been one of the league's most successful players.

Uthappa wasn't at this best last season and will be looking to improve his performances. He will have to play an important role with an extremely young team around him.

Final Say: Robin Uthappa
