IPL 2019: KKR vs SRH - Predicted overseas players for the Kolkata Knight Riders

#1 Lockie Ferguson

Lockie Ferguson

Lockie Ferguson has everything to be a successful bowler in the shortest format of the game. The Kiwi bowler is a genuine fast bowler who can hit very high speeds. This ability to bowl really fast, with his great physique makes him a very difficult challenge for the batsman.

It is never easy to bowl at such high speed with a physique like him. And so, it is not a surprise that his career has been disrupted multiple times by injuries. Now that he has got through that phase, he understands his body much better. Ferguson can now bowl at a very high speed which is enough to give nightmare to the SRH batsmen.

While the Eden Gardens pitch is not very helpful to fast bowlers, someone like Lockie Ferguson who can hit the deck hard, can cause trouble to batsmen. While KKR has always relied on its spinners, the New Zealander can add another dimension to their bowling attack.
