What has made KKR the side to beat in IPL 2017?

Brave captaincy

Gambhir has attacked with the bat and his tactics on the field

Apart from his outstanding run with the bat, Gautam Gambhir’s brave yet clever captaincy has helped in KKR’s superb run of form. The decision to open with Chris Lynn over Uthappa – the 2nd highest run scorer in the previous season – was a brave move.

Moreover, opening with spinner Sunil Narine has proved to be a great success. From attacking the opposition with field placements to deciding to not go with spinners against RCB in Kolkata, most of his tactics has worked for the team.

Keeping the above-mentioned positives and the current form in perspective it shouldn’t be a surprise if KKR emerges as the champion, one more time.
