David Warner and Steve Smith remain serious doubts for the World Cup
#4 Kolkata Knight Riders- Chris Lynn

Chris Lynn is an excellent batsman and fielder
The Kolkata Knight Riders have been careful and clever in their selection process this season as only Chris Lynn is expected to leave and even his departure remains a doubt as players like D'Arcy Short and Shaun Marsh have been performing well.

With the return of Steve Smith and David Warner, Lynn's place in the squad is hanging in the balance and how the side does against India in the ODI series will determine this.
The dashing opener has been a key player but KKR has been accustomed to losing players due to injury and this season too, acquired a good replacement for him in the form of Joe Denly. They may have to rest players like Kuldeep Yadav or skipper Dinesh Karthik himself if they make the playoffs comfortably but will remain comfortable with respect to their squad balance.
