If Kolkata Knight Riders trade Hardik Pandya by giving away Rinku Singh and Varun Chakraborty, then half of KKR’s strength will be reduced. Team’s vice-captain and stormy finisher Rinku Singh plays a very important role in batting. He has also achieved the feat of helping the team win by hitting 5 sixes on 5 balls. Whereas Varun Chakraborty’s departure will completely weaken KKR’s spin attack. Varun handles the bowling attack of the team and forces the opposing batsmen to kneel before him.
