Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR):
- Least number of players (19) compared to other teams.
- Chris Lynn and Mitch Starc are bought at a high price. Generally these two players are highly injury-prone.
- Interesting to see who gets to lead the team. Uthappa seems to be the best possible bet for this role though.
- Opted for Overseas pacers which might make or break records as the Eden Gardens is no more a turning track.
Retained Players: Andre Russell, Sunil Narine
