Kolkata Knight Riders already have a decent middle-order comprising of Dinesh Karthik, Nitish Rana and Andre Russell. The addition of Eoin Morgan would add further potency to their strong suit.

Chris Lynn as an opener, Morgan in the middle order and Russell as the finisher looks like a dream overseas batting combination.

Furthermore, Morgan is a big admirer of Kolkata's newly appointed batting coach Brendon McCullum. It was the New Zealander's style of captaincy that inspired Morgan to turn things around for the England cricket team after a disastrous World Cup in 2015.

There seemed to be a few misunderstandings between some KKR players during the previous season. At one point Karthik even lost his cool on the pitch and reprimanded his teammates in full public display.

Having renowned voices like McCullum and Morgan in the setup would help calm the atmosphere down. They are composed individuals who know how to approach tense situations positively, and their contagious professionalism could spark a new attitude in the players.
