7. Kolkata Knight Riders:
The big names, once again, failed to produce consistent performances as KKR found themselves at the seventh position on the points table after the first phase of the tournament. They would be keen on producing a turnaround, however, the unavailability of the foreign players might affect their chances.
The absence of skipper Eoin Morgan, Pat Cummins, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell will be a massive blow to the franchise. Former skipper Dinesh Karthik is expected to lead if Morgan fails to reach UAE.
Here’s a look at all the players who would miss the second phase:
Eoin Morgan, Shakib Al-Hasan, Andre Russell, Ben Cutting, Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins
