#3 Kolkata Knight Riders
Dinesh Karthik and Robin Uthappa, both of whom were retained by KKR, are the main wicketkeepers in the squad. Dinesh had a fantastic IPL last time around and led the team to the playoffs. He was the highest scoring batsman for KKR as he amassed 498 runs in 16 matches with the average 49.80 and strike rate of 147.77.

DK will be looking to put up a strong show this time around as well. The 33-year-old has played 168 IPL matches and will bring his experience to the fore. He is also the wicketkeeper to effect the most dismissals in IPL history and has taken 94 catches and made 30 stumpings.
Robin Uthappa played a few good knocks for the Kolkata-based franchise in the last season but was still far from his best. The Karnataka-born player scored 351 runs in 16 matches and will be looking to improve upon these numbers significantly in the coming season.
Nikhil Naik will be the backup wicketkeeper in the team.
