Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan can be an ideal wicket-keeper-batsman for Kolkata Knight Riders as they would like to look beyond Dinesh Karthik in the next season. Karthik had his worst IPL season with KKR which also implied to his dipping form in cricket. Even if they decide to persist with Karthik, Kishan can be a good back up option for the side only if he turns up in the auction.
Both of them can even play together with Kishan batting at three in place of a struggling Nitish Rana and Karthik at four. With possibly, Morgan, Shakib and Russell to follow, that would just add depth to KKR’s batting line-up.
Therefore, keeping in mind the loopholes that KKR need to fill ahead of the next IPL, the above-mentioned players are the best options among the 3 players Knight Riders might target ahead of next season.
