Top 3 bowling attacks of IPL 2018

#1 Kolkata Knight Riders

Kuldeep Yadav will have a huge role to play in KKR's campaign this year

KKR is one side in the IPL that has always stressed the importance of a good bowling attack. They have always spent more on buying reliable and effective bowlers at the auction.

And they were able to continue the same this year too. With Sunil Narine, Kuldeep Yadav, Mitchell Starc, and Andrew Russell in the squad, they have formed a potent bowling-attack that can destroy any batting line-up in the tournament.

Apart from these bowlers, they also have a mix of experience and youth in their bowling. In Vinay Kumar and Piyush Chawla, they have old warhorses who have played all seasons of the IPL, while they also have young exciting talent from the triumphant India U19 team in Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Shivam Mavi.

Nagarkoti and Mavi impressed everyone with their pace and consistency in the recently concluded Under-19 World Cup. KKR will be anxiously waiting for Mitchell Johnson's availability for this year's IPL.

The former Australian speedster suffered a major head injury recently and there are questions on his participation in the tournament.

Johnson's availability will give an extra impetus to the already strong bowling attack. Overall, KKR has formed a lethal attack and it is going to be difficult for every batting side to get past them.
