#3- Powerful lower-order
If we have a closer look at KKR's team, we can see the pattern that their CEO Venky Mysore and the team management have opted for. They have got two batsmen at the top who can attack from the very first delivery, then they have got two vastly experienced campaigners in Uthappa and Karthik, and finally, the power-hitting resumes at the bottom order again.
KKR have got Andre Russell to be the leader of the 'finishers' club', alongside comparatively inexperienced Nitish Rana and Shubman Gill. Nothing needs to be said about the first name, whose insane strike rate of over 190 in IPL 8 showed what the player is capable of.
Rana made the headlines last year by virtue of his amazing performance for Mumbai Indians. While his strike rate isn't as good as Russell's, he can call the shots as per the need of the hour. Gill too is a naturally aggressive player. His short-arm jab against Zimbabwe in the ICC U19 World Cup is still fresh in every cricket lovers' memory.
So, it would be fair to say that KKR has got enough fire in their repertoire.
