KKR Predictions:

With the last championship victory coming in 2014, there’s a feeling that Kolkata Knight Riders are due a genuine shot at another title. The team has been coming agonizingly short of making the playoffs in recent seasons, finishing 5th in each of the last two IPL campaigns.

However, on paper, KKR is as good a team as there can be, or are, in the IPL. The roster is loaded with international superstars and a good mix of Indian players led by Dinesh Karthik and Shubman Gill, make this team incredibly hot. The excitement level is over the roof for KKR fans and they can’t wait for the season to start.
