Two-time title winners (2012, 2014) Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will try to turn the fortune in their favour as they enter the 13th edition of the tournament with a fresh mindset and approach. Under the captaincy of Dinesh Karthik, the Kolkata-based side finished fifth last year with six wins to their name. Variety in players is the biggest USP of the side. The Caribbean power of Andre Russell and Sunil Narine is one of the core strengths of the team. Russell amassed 242 runs and three wickets while Narine bagged 11 wickets in the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2020.
Apart from the Windies power, KKR has perhaps the best overseas contingent in IPL with Pat Cummins, Chris Green, Eoin Morgan, Tom Banton, and Lockie Ferguson. USA pacer Ali Khan is the recent addition to the foreign power who was named as a replacement for Harry Gurney. Ali was part of the CPL 2020 winners Trinbago Knight Rider squad. It was the fourth CPL title win for the Knights. The right-handed bowler picked eight wickets in eight matches at an economy rate of 7.43.
