8 IPL teams and their international equivalents
At CricTracker, we've made a list which links IPL franchises to some of the top cricketing nations in the world. Let's have a look at it.
5. Kolkata Knight Riders – Windies
This is a match made in heaven for sure. The KKR and the Windies have two titles each (Win- 1975, 1979 WCs and KKR- 2012, 2014 IPL) to start with. Their squad dynamics operate in more or less, a similar manner and the Carribean blend of all-rounders that the Kolkata based outfit possesses in Russell, Narine, and Brathwaite is one of the best all-rounder trios in the competition and their power-packed playing XI resembles the Windies in a fashion no one else does.
Moreover, KKR and the Windies are similar to each other in the way they go about their game and that is plain, raw attacking cricket. Both these sides have excellent fielders to pull off some acrobatics in the field and they stun us every now and then with some insane saves and catches.
While the Windies are finding their past glory, the KKR seems to be functioning as a well-oiled unit in this year’s IPL. But the point is that one cannot count these two champion sides as on their day, they can prove to be a huge thorn in the way to anyone who comes marching towards them.
