Kolkata Knight Riders will have just Rs. 10.75 crores in its purse and 8 slots open, two of which
are for overseas players. They will have to use their budget wisely, as filling all the holes in
their squad with a very modest budget at their disposal will not be an easy job.
When he gets moving, Colin Munro has the potential to be one of the most devastating batsmen in the world. The left-hander's inventive batting style has always created problems for teams, and his ability to take down spinners is awe-inspiring.
He has scored 6956 runs at an average of almost 30 in 285 T20s, and his strike rate of 143.24 is exceptional. In the ongoing BBL, the New Zealander has demonstrated great form and has scored 441 runs in 14 innings. Though last season, Shubman Gill did an excellent job at the top of the order, the other openers were very inconsistent.
Although they have Tim Seifert, he hasn't played in India, and KKR does not want to risk having such an inexperienced player as their first-choice overseas opener. With Seifert as his replacement, Munro will be the better choice. KKR has always purchased players representing TKR, and so there is a fair possibility that Morgan's team will bid for him.
