IPL 2020 Team Preview: Kolkata Knight Riders

Two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders have been one of the primary entertainers at the IPL with their fearless brand of cricket over the years. They have pulled off dramatic wins from virtually impossible situations in the last few seasons, but have also failed to deliver the goods when it has mattered the most. They made it to the play-offs on three of the five occasions since 2014. In the other two seasons, in 2015 and most recently in 2019, they kept themselves in contention right until the end of the league stage, but lost in the virtual knockouts to end up in fifth position. Will the Shahrukh Khan-owned franchise shrug off inconsistency and clinch a third title?
