If the English players do skip the second phase of IPL 2021, then the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) would have to play without their regular skipper Eoin Morgan. Morgan might not be in the best of form but he’s a valuable asset in T20s no matter what. Thus, KKR would need a world-class player to replace the English ODI and T20I skipper in their team.

Who could be a better replacement than Aaron Finch? Finch is one of the greatest T20 players of all time and his firepower is something that KKR are missing at the top of the order. The Australian ODI and T20I captain is a decent player against spin as well. This might just prove to be a blessing in disguise as Finch is a superb captain as well.

With Morgan gone, Shah Rukh Khan’s team needs an experienced captain to lead them. Finch could play the role of a leader and change KKR’s fortune too. Thus, Finch might be the ideal replacement that can solve KKR’s problems.
