The 2019 season was the 12th season for the Indian Premier League franchise Kolkata Knight Riders. They were one of the eight teams that competed in the 2019 Indian Premier League. The team was captained by Dinesh Karthik and coached by Jacques Henry Kallis with Simon Matthew Katich as assistant coach, Omkar Salvia as bowling coach and Abhishek Mohan Nair as mentor
Background[edit]
Player retention and auction[edit]
Main article: List of 2019 Indian Premier League personnel changes
In November 2018, the Knight Riders announced their list of retained players for the 2019 season. The list included Dinesh Karthik, Robin Uthappa, Chris Lynn, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shubman Gill, Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Shivam Mavi, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Kamlesh Nagarkoti.[1][2]
On 18 December 2018, the IPL player auction was held in which the Knight Riders signed up nine more players viz., Carlos Brathwaite, Lockie Ferguson, Joe Denly, Harry Gurney, Nikhil Naik, Shrikant Mundhe, Prithvi Raj Yarra and Anrich Nortje.[3]
Team analysis[edit]
s Sreshth Shah predicted the Knight Riders to qualify for the playoffs and listed the team's strengths to be its "power-hitters", Dinesh Karthik's role as captain and finisher, and its spin bowlers' effectiveness. He also pointed out that the team has an "inexperienced pace attack" which had taken the fewest wickets and had the worst economy rate among all teams in the previous season.[4] wrote in its team preview that "anything less than play-offs will be seen as a failure" for the Knight Riders while also saying that winning the title in 2019 "may just be a step too far" for the team.[5] called Andre Russell the "fulcrum of the side" and acknowledged the "variety and depth in the squad."[6] Suggesting the strength of the team to be its spin bowling department, wrote "The variety the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, Sunil Narine and Piyush Chawla bring to the playing XI is unmatchable."[7]

The Mumbai Indians acquired former KKR batsman Chris Lynn in the 2020 IPL auction
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) come into the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a star-studded squad that has an excellent blend of experience and youth. Young stars like Shubman Gill and Shivam Mavi are ably complemented by the old guard of Dinesh Karthik and Andre Russell.
Players KKR might regret letting go of ahead of IPL 2020

However, KKR did make some bold calls ahead of the 2020 IPL auction, releasing as many as ten players including the likes of Carlos Brathwaite and South African tearaway quick Anrich Nortje.
In the 2020 IPL, KKR might come to regret letting go of these 3 players.

Robin Uthappa has been deployed down the order in recent years
Robin Uthappa had been a loyal servant of KKR for 6 years before they decided to release him ahead of the 2020 IPL auction.
In 84 innings for the franchise, the classy right-hander scored 2,439 runs at an average of 30.49 and played a pivotal role in almost all of their famous victories, including the IPL title win in 2014 in his first year at KKR. Uthappa also won the Orange Cap in that season, with 660 runs in 16 games.
The 34-year-old's form has dipped in recent years, with him not crossing 400 runs since his dream campaign in 2014. However, this can be attributed to Uthappa playing lower down the order, with Sunil Narine taking up the opener's duties in the past couple of seasons.
With the likes of Shubman Gill and Nitish Rana in the side, Uthappa could've been a mentor apart from lending valuable experience to the batting lineup. The batsman, who now plays for Kerala in the Indian domestic circuit, was snapped up by RR for 3 crores.
#2 Chris Lynn
Chris Lynn can pick apart any bowler in the world on his day
It is still quite baffling as to why KKR let Chris Lynn go ahead of the 2020 IPL auction. The destructive opener had formed a lethal partnership with Narine at the top of the order and scored 1,274 runs in 40 games for the side.
Lynn has struggled with injuries over the course of his career but when he is on song, there is no stopping him. The Australian is still fondly remembered for his KKR debut in which he scored a 31-ball 45 and took a stunning catch to dismiss AB de Villiers in the last over of the match to snatch a win for his team.
KKR currently don't have an overseas top-order batsman apart from Tom Banton, and it remains to be seen if the Englishman will get regular games in the presence of Eoin Morgan. Lynn could've provided some additional firepower at the top of the order, in a team that he has been part of for 6 years.
Lynn will play for the Mumbai Indians in the 2020 IPL, and he is expected to form another lethal opening combination with South African Quinton de Kock.
#1 Piyush Chawla
Piyush Chawla was CSK's most expensive buy in the 2020 IPL auction
The fact that the 2020 IPL is taking place in the UAE might be the reason behind Piyush Chawla being No. 1 on this list, but the leg-spinner has been consistently excellent for KKR at their home ground, the spin-friendly Eden Gardens.
Chawla was often the underrated cog in the 3-pronged spin wheel featuring Narine and Kuldeep Yadav, and was the man entrusted with keeping a check on the run-scoring rate in the most difficult overs of the innings. With a deceptive googly and a quicker one that touches the 120s, the 31-year-old will be a handful in the 2020 IPL, where he will play for the Chennai Super Kings.
Chawla is the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the history of the IPL, and 66 of his 150 wickets came for KKR. The hole left by his departure was addressed by the KKR team management as they snapped up talented mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, but the Tamil Nadu man is only 3 overs into his IPL career and might not have the requisite experience to immediately make an impact.
KKR might be left to rue their decision to let Chawla go.
