3 IPL teams that could get into a race to buy Shimron Hetmyer at the upcoming auctions

#2 Kolkata Knight Riders

CLT20 Kolkata Knight Riders v Nashua Titans

The Kolkata Knight Riders also impressed last season under the leadership of their new skipper Dinesh Karthik. They lost the race only in the second qualifier, falling short by 14 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad, which prevented them from reaching the final.

KKR have a good looking batting line-up with the likes of Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell providing plenty of firepower. However, they occasionally struggled to maintain the scoring rate in the middle overs.

Inserting Shimron Hetmyer there could give them the depth that was missing in their batting last time around. With the Guyanese in the team, Karthik's men could well take the last step and lift the trophy in 2019.
