Kolkata Knight Riders Squad IPL 15 Biggest Weaknesses:
The biggest weakness of Kolkata Knight Riders IPL 2022 squad is its top order batting. With the unavailability of Aaron finch for the first 5 matches, Top order batting is a bit of concern for this team. Venkatesh Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane will be forced to take the responsibility for the top order batting and knowing the inexperience of Venkatesh along with slower strike-rate problem of Rahane things are not looking good for KKR.
