The Shahrukh Khan owned Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are the shielding Indian Premier League (IPL) champions. They are conceivably among the most balanced sides with no shortage of worldwide experience. Shiamak Unwalla feels that they are one of the top choices of the competition, and could make it through to the end.

Cricbuzz KKR Captain: Gautam Gambhir headed KKR magnificently in the last phases of IPL 2014. He was in appalling structure at the begin of the competition, yet turned things around to help his side to triumph. Notwithstanding, he is falling off an unbelievably frustrating voyage through England, where he neglected to get any sort of begin. He will be under tremendous weight to perform and demonstrate that there is still some juice left in him.



Qualities: KKR have a force stuffed batting line-up with Gambhir, Uthappa, Kallis, Pandey, ten Doeschate and Pathan shaping a considerable main six. Include the noteworthy Suryakumar and the potential all-rounder in Andre Russell to the mix, and KKR has a powerful mixed drink of batsmen who can pursue down any potential target or set up a win with a match-winning score.

Past record: KKR have showed up in the ClT20 once some time recently, in 2013. They won only one match, and did little else to talk about. They have a more adjusted side this time around, however, and can possibly make themselves glad.
