1. KKR: Fighting for Glory IPL 7
The team co-own by Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan had to go through a lot in the first
four editions of the IPL. KKR were failures in terms of performance while there was no end
to controversies related to them. They then bought Gautam Gambhir for 2.2 million dollars
in the IPL auction (2011) with a clear view of doing something different. Gambhir has an
attacking mindset which paid rich dividend for the team as they finished inside the top four
in 2011. He learned from the mistakes and made sure that they lifted the trophy in 2012.
KKR won their first title on account of some brilliant performances from its players.
However, they couldn't live upto the billing and finished seventh in the next edition of the
league. Apart from retaining Gautam Gambhir and Sunil Narine, the team management has
invested further Rs. 59 crore to form a strong unit this time, which can fight for its lost glory.
The batting reins will be in the hands of captain Gambhir, Manish Pandey, Robin Uthappa
and Chris Lynn. The allround skill of veteran all-rounder Jacques Kallis, Yusuf Pathan,
Shakib-al-Hasan, Ryan ten Doeschate and Andre Russell is enough to add firepower to this
famous IPL franchise. Knight Riders have one of the most decent looking bowling attacks of
this year's IPL. Umesh Yadav, Morne Morkel, Vinay Kumar and Pat Cummins can win
games solely on the base of their bowling while the likes of Piyush Chawla and Sunil Narine
have already proved themselves in the Indian Premier League. KKR is looking solid for the
new campaign and could finish inside the top four in the upcoming season.

Kallis was once again added to the team after KKR owners bought him for Rs. 5.5 crore. He
has played an important role in the success of the Riders and could repeat his magic again.
The right hand batsman has scored 2276 runs and has taken 61 wickets in the 90 matches.
He can play a sheet anchor role while has all the shots to go on rampage if the situation
demands.
