IPL 2021: Kolkata Knight Riders look for balance in brand new season

One of the biggest factors affecting KKR last season was that their two West Indies stars -- Sunil Narine and Andre Russell -- had a poor season, with many commentators even saying that the duo may be past their prime and their downturn in form maybe a permanent feature.

Kolkata Knight Riders ended up on the losing side of the scrap for the final playoff spot in the Indian Premier League last season due to their poor net run rate as compared to SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
All three teams finished on 14 points but while SRH and RCB had net run rates of +0.608 and -0.172 respectively, KKR ended the season with -0.214, thus finishing fifth.
