Sunil Narine
Suni Narine is the most capped KKR player in the current squad. He has been with the side since 2012 and is well versed with the culture of the side. The absence of Pat Cummins now opens up a spot for him to be one of the four overseas players with Russell, Tim Seifert and Ferguson being the other three based on the availability of players.
This also gives the management to assign him a leadership role for the side. He has been an invaluable player for KKR since his very first season in 2012. He has been useful more as a batter than as a bowler for the side in the last few years.
Since 2018, he has picked just 18 wickets with the ball. He has picked just three wickets from four games in this season so far. If he is chosen as the captain, he will get more games which might be useful for KKR given that there is no clarification on Shakib Al Hasan’s availability with Bangladesh playing Australia, England and New Zealand before the T20 World Cup.
