#3 Kolkata Knight Riders

Andre Russell won matches for KKR single-handedly last season.

All-rounders: Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shivam Mavi, Nitish Rana, Chris Green, and Varun Chakravarthy

Andre Russell had the most memorable year in IPL 2019 for the Kolkata Knight Riders, where his masterful batting skills that won many matches for the side. The Carribean demolished bowlers at a massive strike rate of 204.81, hitting them all over the stadiums and scored the most runs (510) for KKR at an average of 56.66 in the season. He also provided breakthroughs when the team needed the most with 11 wickets.

Another West Indies' all-rounder Sunil Narine has proven his credentials as an off-spinner and also an opening batsman in the seven seasons with KKR. He is the eighth-most successful bowler in IPL history with 122 scalps at an economy of just 6.67. KKR will heavily rely upon Russell and Narine as frontrunners in the playing XI.

KKR's middle-order southpaw Nitish Rana has shown his consistency in the IPL and scored at an average of 34.30 last season. The Delhi-born batsman can also provide a couple of overs with his off-breaks. The 18-year-old Shivam Mavi can clock 140 kph consistently as an exciting addition among the youngsters of KKR.

Chris Green, who has emerged as a T20 specialist on different leagues in the world, could be a perfect replacement to Narine, who has been injury-prone in recent times. KKR signed mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who will be looking to show glimpses of his spin variations in the cash-rich tournament.

KKR has T20 specialists in their all-round department with a dependable middle-order attack. However, the team seems to lack a replacement for Russell if he gets injured in the competition. The young Indian options like Shivam Mavi and Nitesh Rana will have to step up and deliver as the side seems to lack experience in the Indian options.
