Their best options: Dinesh Karthik, Andre Russel and Eoin Morgan.

The Kolkata-based franchise last won an IPL title back in 2014 under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir and were looking forward to adding the third title in their kitty. After adding some incredible talent to the squad, KKR are looking balanced in all the departments of the game and are strong contenders to win the championship this year.

Andre Russell is the backbone of the batting lineup of the team. He generally bats down the order and scores some important runs quickly when the team needed him the most. He posseses a career strike-rate of 186.42 in IPL and will be the primary option to bat for the team in the Super Over.

The KKR skipper can open the batting with Russell in the over as he has all the experience and can find gaps in any situation of the match. His match-winning innings of 29 off eight balls in the Nidahas Trophy final defines his hard-hitting capacity even in pressure situations.

Eoin Morgan, England’s World Cup-winning captain is a dashing left-handed batsman who can clear any ground in the world. Although he wasn’t used much by the franchises which he represented in the past, he can play a vital role in KKR’s campaign this year and can join the above two if needed in case of a super over.
