#2 KKR already have a potent spin attack
KKR’s bowling attack is one of the strongest in the IPL. While they have quality fast bowlers like Trent Boult and Umesh Yadav, it is their spin department that gives them the edge over most sides. Aside from Narine, their squad boasts the likes of Shakib Al Hasan, Piyush Chawla and Kuldeep Yadav.
Now, each of these spinners is vastly different from the other. But on closer inspection, one will realise that each of them is, primarily, a wicket-taking spinner. While most teams count on their spinners to stem the run flow during the middle overs, KKR actually depend on them to pick up crucial wickets and break partnerships.
While Chawla is a good leg-spinner with a very good googly, we have already seen what Kuldeep is capable of. Shakib, for his part, is handy in the death overs when the opposition batsmen are looking to hit the ball out of the ground. Do KKR still need Narine in the starting XI?
