The two-time champions and one of the semi-finalists last year, Kolkata Knight Riders have seen so many changes over the last 12 years of IPL. There is an emotional connection as well that make KKR different team from the others. From their most beloved son Sourav Ganguly to Dinesh Karthik, KKR has had their ups and downs. After getting nothing in first three years of the tournament, KKR cuts the ties with Ganguly and handed the captaincy to Gautam Gambhir who won them 2 titles in first years of his captaincy term and became the synonym of KKR.

In 2018, Dinesh Karthik was handed the captaincy and did well to take KKR to the playoffs in his first term as captain. Though KKR has some high-class batsman in Chris Lynn, Robin Uthappa, and Dinesh Karthik, their strongest link has always been their bowling that will again lead by Kuldeep Yadav and Sunil Narine, two world-class spinners along with the pacers like Lockie Ferguson, and Andre Russell.



Keeping the injuries aside, KKR is looking strong enough to make to the top four again. However, we understand that there are five players who will decide the fate of the KKR and can turn the match on single-handedly on any day.

Here is the list of the 5 players to watch out for in IPL 2019 (KKR):

1. Chris Lynn (Batsman) - A strong bottom hand batsman who can take even the best of a bowler on any day, Chris Lynn is one of the most accomplished batsmen in Australia. In Big Bash League, Australia crowd know him as the best hitter of the cricket ball. He has become KKR's number one choice of a foreign batsman and has been sensational as an opener in the last couple of seasons and KKR would be hoping him continue that form in 2019 as well.

2. Shubman Gill (Batsman) - According to Virat Kohli "He was not even 20% of what Shubman Gill at this stage". Well, it is nothing sort of the biggest compliment Gill can ever get from the world's best batsman himself. The player of the tournament of India's U-19 world cup title triumph last year, Gill made his IPL debut last year and was impressive in phases. With the experience of the last year, he is going to play the key role this year for the KKR.

3. Andre Russell (All-Rounder) - A typical West Indian player, Andre Russell is a bustling pacer and a powerful lower middle-order batsman too. He has one of the best strike rates in IPL. His ability to change the game on his terms makes him the player to watch out for in this year's Indian Premier League.

4. Lockie Ferguson (Bowler) - On pacy Eden Gardens pitch, Lockie Ferguson can trouble any batsman with his serious pacy deliveries. After making his IPL debut in 2017, Ferguson could only play 4 games and didn't play in last season. But he has the edge of the extra Pace that makes him a player to watch out for.

5. Sunil Narine (All-Rounder) - Sunil Narine is a bowler who can bat and bat well. After Gautam Gambhir promoted him as an opener, he has become one of the most valuable players in IPL history. KKR is lucky enough to have both Russell and Narine who have strike rate over 170 in IPL and both are equally effective with the ball. No wonder he has become KKR's integral part along with Russell and Lynn.
