IPL 2018: 5 reasons why KKR might not win the title

#4 Inexperienced batting lineup

Robin Uthappa will have to do the bulk of the scoring for KKR in IPL 2018

Kolkata Knight Riders lost many experienced batsmen in the auction, including the likes of Gautam Gambhir, Manish Pandey, and Yusuf Pathan.

Also, they failed to buy an experienced Indian batsman in the auction. With Dinesh Karthik, Robin Uthappa, and Chris Lynn, only 3 of their batsmen in the squad have played international cricket.

Though they brought Nitish Rana, Ishank Jaggi, Rinku Singh and Apoorv Wankhede to fill the batsmen slots in the squad, they cannot be an exact replacement as they lack experience and haven’t played international or much IPL cricket before, except for Nitish Rana. This will definitely hurt KKR in IPL 2018.
