IPL 2020: 5 KKR players who could finish with the most Dream11 points

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) finished fifth in the 2019 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to miss out on qualifying for the playoffs. This year, with all 8 teams looking evenly matched on paper, they will have a job on their hands if they are to claim their third IPL title.

KKR made some big moves in the IPL 2020 auction, and captain Dinesh Karthik will have to get the best out of the new players as well as the old guard if his team are to relive the golden days of the Gautam Gambhir era.

5 KKR players who could finish IPL 2020 with the most Dream11 points

Ahead of IPL 2020, we take a look at 5 KKR players who could end the campaign with the most Dream11 points.

Honorable Mention - Nitish Rana: The southpaw is guaranteed to bat in the top 4, and his handy off-spin could be used in a team which has only two world-class options in Sunil Narine and Kuldeep Yadav.

#5 Eoin Morgan

Morgan is returning to KKR for IPL 2020

Eoin Morgan is returning to the KKR fold for IPL 2020, and he will be one of the key players in an inexperienced middle order. The England white-ball captain has been in astonishing form in the limited-overs formats in the recent past, and his leadership will also greatly help Karthik.

Morgan can be backed to rack up some major Dream11 points in IPL 2020, and should be one of the first names in every fantasy team.

#4 Pat Cummins

Cummins became the most expensive overseas player in IPL auction history

The most expensive player in the history of the IPL auction, Pat Cummins will spearhead the KKR pace attack in the UAE. The Australian will be entrusted with the most important overs of the innings - the powerplay and the death - and he will also have to guide the young Indian pacers such as Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi and Prasidh Krishna.

KKR shelled out a huge sum for Cummins for good reason, and the fast bowler is expected to justify his price tag with a sizeable amount of wickets and maybe even runs.

#3 Shubman Gill

Gill will have a lot of responsibility on his young shoulders in IPL 2020

Shubman Gill might not open the innings in IPL 2020 due to the presence of Rahul Tripathi, but the youngster is guaranteed to feature in the top 3. The Punjab batsman has been threatening to break into the Indian side for quite some time now, and he could certainly do so with his performances this year.

Gill will have a lot of responsibility on his young shoulders, and the calm head that he possesses will go a long way in justifying his captain's faith in him. He could even contend for the Orange Cap in IPL 2020, making him an excellent Dream11 option for the tournament.

#2 Andre Russell

2-time MVP award winner Andre Russell isn't even #1 on this list!

Andre Russell has been backed by KKR through thick and thin, and he has repaid their faith in him by single-handedly winning a number of matches for the side. There have been calls that the West Indian should bat higher up the order, but he is perhaps best suited to the No. 6 position from which he can unleash himself with abandon on the opposition bowlers.

Russell will also contribute with the ball and in the field, making him one of the most popular Dream11 players in IPL 2020. He is a 2-time MVP award winner and one of the most destructive batsmen the game of cricket has ever seen, but there is still one KKR player who is above him on this list.

#1 Sunil Narine

Narine is one of the greatest T20 players of all time

On the spin-friendly UAE tracks, Sunil Narine will be next to unplayable. The West Indian was in superb form with both bat and ball in the few games that he played in the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League, and he can expected to replicate the same in IPL 2020.

Narine is undoubtedly the KKR player who could bag the most Dream11 points in IPL 2020.
