Kolkata Knight Riders- Buying inexperienced foreign players
The Kolkata Knight Riders released some experienced pacers like Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson before the auction. Hence, their main requirement was to sign a skilled speedster at the auction.
Despite this, the Kolkata Knight Riders went into the auction and bought some young and inexperienced players like Lockie Ferguson, Arnich Nortje and Harry Gurney who are unheard of by the Indian fans.
Instead, they should have opted for a veteran IPL seamer like Morne Morkel who has been a leading wicket-taker in a season for the erstwhile Delhi Daredevils in the past.
Another plus in the signing of Morne Morkel would have been that he has played for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the past and familiar with the conditions at the Eden Garden. Hence, it seems that the Kolkata Knight Riders have made a massive error by not picking seasoned overseas fast bowlers.
