Kolkata Knight Riders were the second-most underperforming franchise as they registered only two wins out of seven matches. Kolkata Knight Riders’ promising batting line-up kept struggling to fire after the first game, with the captain also proving a liability. Eoin Morgan just could not get going in this year’s tournament, managing only 92 runs in seven games at 15.33, with a strike rate of 112.20.

With Eoin Morgan likely to miss the UAE leg, Kolkata Knight Riders could go back to Dinesh Karthik to do the captaincy. It could be a blessing in disguise for the franchise as he looked out of sorts with the bat, subsequently affecting his captaincy too. While Pat Cummins’ skipping the second phase are down to rumours as of now, the 27-year old could miss it as he is one of the crucial players for Australia.

Kolkata Knight Riders squad: Eoin Morgan (c), Vaibhav Arora, Pat Cummins, Ben Cutting, Lockie Ferguson, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Harbhajan Singh, Venkatesh Iyer, Sheldon Jackson, Dinesh Karthik, Kuldeep Yadav, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi, Sunil Narine, Karun Nair, Pawan Negi, Prasidh Krishna, Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sandeep Warrier, Tim Seifert, Shakib Al Hasan, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Varun Chakravarthy, Rinku Singh.
