All-rounders:

KKR has a couple of quality all-rounders who can deliver with bat as well as ball. They are extremely valuable players because they give the team balance and some extra batting prowess and useful bowling options. All-rounders help the team adjust as per the requirement of the game.

Bowling Attack:

KKR's bowling arsenal includes both the spinners and the fast bowlers who can play under different conditions. The spinners will control the middle overs, while the fast bowlers can strike at the earliest and conclude the game. The team's bowlers will be important in stopping the opposition from scoring and grabbing key wickets.

Impact Players:

KKR will make good use of the Impact Player rule, bringing in a player who can add something to the game. Whether adding a batsman to keep piling up the runs or a bowler to pick up important wickets, the team has the opportunity to reverse the game as they want.
