4) Kolkata Knight Riders

Strength: Dinesh Karthik will feel confident of leading the squad after his heroics ahead of the IPL. He will be more than happy to lead the side for the first time. He has top players like Chris Lynn, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Johnson, Robin Uthappa and Kuldeep Yadav in his squad.
Weakness: Sunil Narine presence is not guaranteed someone on whom the KKR has depended on for a long time. There are a lot of inexperienced players who need to play better following the rule of playing only 4 overseas players in the playing eleven.
