Kolkata Knight Riders

IPL 2009 so far: Played – 6, Won – 1, Lost – 4, N/R – 1

The team has suffered from the off-field controversy surrounding their “multiple captain theory”, and the change of guard that preceded Indian Premier League 2009. Their performances have so far been below par, and their captain Brendon McCullum’s poor form with the bat isn’t helping matters either.  

Best Bet for Kolkata Knight Riders:Chris Gayle – 9/10
Murali Karthik – 9/10
Sourav Ganguly – 8/10
Brendon McCullum – 8/10
Wridhiman Saha – 7/10
