IPL-7 Team KKR
1 Gautam Gambhir (capt), 2 Robin Uthappa (wk), 3 Jacques Kallis,
4 Manish Pandey, 5 Yusuf Pathan, 6 Chris Lynn/Shakib Al Hasan, 7 Piyush Chawla,
8 Vinay Kumar, 9 Sunil Narine, 10 Morne Morkel/ Pat Cummins, 11 Umesh Yadav
KKR are the dark horses in this season of IPL-7. Gautam Gambir,
their captain is retained and so is their most valuable player Sunil Narine.
KKR looks a very formidable side and can demolish any side
On their day. On spin friendly pitches eg: Chepauk, Ahmedabad(Sardar
Patel Stadium),Firoz Shah Kotla stadium(Delhi)- their spin trio of Chawla,
Narine and Shakib Al Hasan ( an unsual spinner) will be deadly against strong
oppositions.
In flat “ Patta “ pitches the pace attack with Pat Cummins,
Morne Morkel, Umesh Yadav and Vinay Kumar may ruffle real good stroke makers.
In terms of batting KKR heavily relies on Gauti, Jacques Kallis
and Yusuf Pathan( who just fired in first season of IPL). Gautam has backed him
in all the seasons. Robin, Manish Pandey very unsure of their
form in the middle order. Only drawback is they are lacking fire
power in the lower middle order except Yusuf Pathan. With the kind of bowling
attack KKR will love to defend more totals compared to chase it down.
My observation: Being the
dark horses KKR may upset a team who is trying to qualify for the playoffs in
IPL season-7.
