IPL 2017: 5 reasons why KKR can beat SRH in the eliminator

#2 Strong spin attack

Kuldeep Yadav should assist Sunil Narine in the spin department

Sunrisers' biggest batsmen are all left handed - David Warner, Shikhar Dhawan and Yuvraj Singh. Kolkata's biggest weapon in the spin department, Sunil Narine, turns the ball away from them and has a handful of other variations which makes him a huge threat.

They also possess Kuldeep Yadav and Piyush Chawla but only one of them is likely to play. Kuldeep has the edge given that the chinaman also turns the ball away from left-handers and was extremely successful against Australia in the recent Test series.

Given that none of Yuvraj, Henriques and Naman Ojha is very comfortable against mystery spinners like Narine and Kuldeep makes the Sunrisers' soft belly appear even weaker. Kolkata will be banking on their spinners to do the job in the middle overs.
