IPL 2019: Ranking the Spinners of all 8 teams

#2 Kolkata Knight Riders

Sunil Narine

Kolkata Knight Riders have always been a team that has had a history with good spin bowling options. 2018 IPL season was a decent one for them and they have retained their core spinners of Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav, and Sunil Narine for the 2019 IPL season too. Among the part-time options, Nitish Rana can give the team a few overs in between.

KKR seems to be content with the existing options in the spin department and did not ponder buying another spinner in the 2019 IPL auctions.

Possible Spin bowling lineup of Kolkata Knight Riders

1. Kuldeep Yadav
2. Piyush Chawla
3. Sunil Narine

Overall Verdict - There are 3 pretty good spinners in the squad and a backup spinning option. All three spinners are matchwinners which is the reason KKR has not opted to buy another spinner. But with the short squad size that they have, they could have bought a young spinner as a backup option.
