Bat deep and bat hard
Tom Banton, Sunil Narine, Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan, Dinesh Karthik, Rahul Tripathi, Andre Russell, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi, Kuldeep Yadav.
There are only two changes between this line-up and the previous one, but these two changes make a world of difference to the style of cricket KKR would look to play with this eleven on the field.
In this team, Pat Cummins and Prasidh Krishna drop out, with Tom Banton and Kamlesh Nagarkoti taking their places. Batting-wise, this team is among one of the best possible in this year's IPL. Tom Banton and Sunil Narine can ensure a fast start to the innings, while any one of the 6 to follow the pair can single-handedly win KKR a match on their day. Add to this the fact that both Mavi and Nagarkoti are decent with the blade in hand, and we have a team that bats till number 10 and more importantly, has a quality batter in each position. It would be silly to rule this line-up out, especially at grounds such as Wankhede and Chinnaswamy, which are notorious for high-scoring matches.
