IPL 2017: Kolkata Knight Riders All-Time XI 1
Laxmipathy Balaji

Laxmipathy Balaji was well past his prime when arrived at KKR but with a wealth international and domestic experience, Balaji proved to a valuable asset to his team during his time between 2011 and 2013. Armed with subtle variation, he found success in the opening spell as during the death overs and ended up with 35 wickets in 35 matches. His importance was such that KKR appointed him to replace Wasim Akram as the bowling coach of the side for the upcoming season.
