Kolkata Knight Riders:
The harbinger of the east has been in good touch in IPL 2016. They are currently in the second position with two victories and one loss. They are a balanced team. Their opening pair Rabon Uthappa and Gautam Gambhir has already notched up the record opening partnership in the IPL against Sunriser Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.
KKR batting department is comprised of season campaigners like Robin Uthappa, Gambhir, Manish Pandey, Andre Russell , Surya Kumar Yadav and Yusuf Pathan. Besides this, they have some of the extraordinary T20 players like Chris Lynn and mystery bowler Brad Hogg and Sunil Narine. Their team has been playing together for the last couple of seasons, so they have an understanding among themselves. But, Bookmakers don’t want to rate them highly as they sometimes break like a pack of cards.
