Kolkata
Knight Riders - IPL 5 LIVE
KKR is undoubtedly the most famous IPL team in India. The mass
popularity of KKR has got to do with the mass popularity of team owner Shah
Rukh Khan rather than the performance of the team. But with the change in team structure
and management the team had done pretty well in IPL 4 under Gautam Gambhir.

Things change a bit with the inclusion of Brendon Mccullum in the KKR squad. The New Zealand wicket keeper is a definite option in the playing eleven along with South African Jacques Kallis.

SHAKIB AL HASAN |
One position will be for a pace bowler where Bret Lee comes into the picture as the first choice while James Pattinson would be waiting in the benches.
The last post will be the post of the all rounder where Shakib Al Hasan and Ryan Ten Doeschate will be considered. If suppose the team management decides to overrule the all rounder option and beef up the batting Eoin Morgan will come into picture. Definitely considering the relationship of Morgan with the coach and captain there is high possibility of Eoin Morgan coming into the paying eleven ahead of Shakib al Hasan or Ryan ten Doeschate.
So the foreign player’s line up of Kolkata Knight Riders most probably will be
- Brendon
Mccullum
- Jacques
Kallis
- Bret
Lee
- Eoin
Morgan/Ryan Ten Doeschate/Shakib Al Hasan
