2. Rahul Tripathi

Another new addition to the KKR set up this year that can make a difference in stylish batsman Rahul Tripathi. After Rajasthan Royals had released Tripathi the KKR bought him in the IPL auction for Rs. 60 lakh bid. The 29-year-old is a quality player of spin and will certainly be a major asset for KKR on those turning pitches in the UAE.

Tripathi in bits and pieces has shown glimpses of his talent in the IPL but has been unable to continue his rich vein of form throughout the season. The batsman is now more experienced and understands his strengths better than before and we might see the best of him in the UAE.

Tripathi has amassed a total of 758 runs at an impressive average of 138 and will be playing of KKR for the first time in his career.
