The case of Kolkata Knight Riders is similar to that of Delhi and Mumbai. After having a dull start in the league for the first 4 years like Mumbai, their fortunes changed under Gautam Gambhir. They won 2 titles in a span of 3 years. After the 2014 season, they replicate what Delhi has been doing since the start which is starting the season with a lot of match winners on paper who eventually fail to create the needed impact on the field to win them the trophy. They have played 106 players in 176 matches in 12 seasons.

Sunrisers Hyderabad who came in as a replacement for Deccan Chargers in 2013, have done a decent job in player management. They have retained their core through these years and have groomed young players which helped them win their first title in 2016 under the captaincy of David Warner. Since 2016, they have always made it to playoffs though they couldn’t win the title. In 106 matches that SRH has played so far, they have featured 64 players. Having a core team and think tank in Warner, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kane Williamson, and Tom Moody, V V S Laxman and Muttiah Muralitharan, their future looks the brightest among the many.
