#5 Kolkata Knight Riders
Rating- 6/10
Kolkata Knight Riders have missed the playoffs berth for a couple of seasons now. They used to be amongst the consistent teams for a number of years. But that has changed in the last couple of years. The problem that Rajasthan Royals have is valid for the Kolkata Knight Riders as well.
Dinesh Karthik, the skipper, has plenty of experience at both international arena as well the IPL. But that’s about it. There are many experienced overseas players like Eoin Morgan, Sunil Narine, Shakib Al Hasan, Andre Russell, Pat Cummins. But the Indian contingent consists of majorly youngsters. The addition of Harbhajan Singh would help their cause. This team needs their overseas players to put together consistent good performances to stand a chance of winning the title.
