Kolkata Knight Riders Team 2012: KKR IPL 5 Squad Player List

Kolkata Knight Riders Team 2012 – KKR IPL 5 Squad List is placed here. The IPL team representing Kolkata is owned by Shah Rukh Khan. This year can bring the moment of glory to the Kolkata Knight Riders as they battle it out with the 8 participating teams. Shahrukh Khan’s team is all set with Gautam Gambhir as the captain after having replaced Saurav Ganguly last season. It fared decently in the fourth edition of IPL when Gautam Gambhir took over as captain. It now sits comfortably in the fourth position in terms of brand value after CSK, MI and RCB.

Manoj Tiwary, Yusuf Pathan, Eoin Morgan, are some of the older players of the team. They will be joined by a glorious line of players like Sunil Narine and New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum.

Surprisingly, KKR bought Brendon McCullum back into their team for whopping $900,000 who was the first player to go into IPL 2012 auctions. This was also KKR’s huge buy in the season. Their next big buy was on Sunil Narine whose services were bought at $700,000 . The bargain by KKR; however was Marchant de Lange.

The entire team believes that the new additions in the form of dashing wicketkeeper-batsman Brendon McCullum and also bowler de Lange will fill the deficits the team has been suffering from.

KKR Players to Watch Out For at IPL 5

Captain Gambhir, Jacques Kallis and Bredon McCullum will add to team’s quality; notwithstanding Yousuf Pathan who although didn’t have great IPL 4 season. You can actually watch out for his devastating hitting form. He could be one of the few entertainers of the T20 cricket. If Lee returns to his wicket taking form, KKR can come back well. If Lee gets backing from Brad Haddin, Eoin Morgan, and Balaji then they can outperform other teams. I have a feeling that says it will be KKR this time. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Team Squad IPL 2012 – Players List is placed below.
