Nitish Rana

KKR should be looking bat Nitish Rana at the crucial number 3 spot this year. The southpaw has time and again showed his credentials with the bat in hand in IPL. Rana is a fine player of spin and for certain will be a regular player for KKR in UAE.

The pitches in the UAE will suit his style of batting which is a major boost for his side. In his IPL career so far, Rana has amassed 1085 runs at an average of 30 and strike rate of 135.
