Depth in bowling

Nathan Coulter-Nile has impressed for the Gambhir-led side

Kolkata Knight Riders have plenty to choose from when it comes to their bowling. The side is very well equipped to adjust to any kind of bowling conditions, favouring the fast bowlers or the spinners. Among the regulars, they have the likes of Nathan Coulter-Nile, Umesh Yadav and Chris Woakes who can hit the deck hard.

Their spin battalion has a lot of variety with the leg-spinner, Piyush Chawla, offie Sunil Narine, and chinaman bowler, Kuldeep Yadav. The bowling skills of Colin de Grandhomme and Yusuf Pathan have also come in handy when required.

This kind of a bowling attack puts the opposition on their toes at all times, be it at the start, the middle overs, or the death overs.
