Anjam will tell only what kind of performance Kolkata Knight Riders played in the 11th season of the Indian Premier League without Captain Gautam Gambhir, who won the title twice. In the new season, KKR has led the team to the shoulders of experienced Dinesh Karthik. The franchisee believes that Karthik has matured to get the best out of the team. 

Let me tell you that Gambhir had won the title in 2012 and 2014 in Kolkata. 

The Kolkata team management, however, did not comment on this time. In this season of serious IPL, Delhi will be captaining the Daredevils. 

Karthik was in the news of the innings of 29 runs in eight balls against Bangladesh in the final of the Nidas Trophy final played in Sri Lanka recently.

Talking to the media for the first time as the captain of Kolkata, the wicketkeeper batsman said, "I am aware of the expectations. The pressure will definitely be." As a captain, you are expected that you should give your team at least the playoff I believe that I am at that point that I can handle such pressure and get the best out of the team. " 

Karthik knows that he will have to bat like Gambhir. He was with Kolkata since 2011 and he is also the team's highest scorer. 

In addition to Gambhir, Robin Uthappa has been an important part of Kolkata's journey till now. He is the vice-captain of the team this time.

The absence of Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc is a big setback for Kolkata. Among the finest bowlers in the world, Starc had bought Kolkata for Rs 9.4 crore. In his place, the team has included England's all-rounder Tom Curren in the team. 

In bowling, Kolkata have young fast bowlers like Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Shivam Mavi who made India the under-19 world champion this year. At the same time, the team has R. There is also the experience of Vinay Kumar. 

In the spin, the team has Sunil Narine, Kuldeep Yadav and Piyush Chawla of the West Indies. 

Apart from Karthik, Uthappa, in the batting, Kolkata is a stormy batsman like Chris Lynn. There is also Andre Russell and Cameron Daleport all rounder South Africa.

Batsman Subhaman Gill, who is part of the Under-19 World Cup winning team, is also in the team. This IPL is a big opportunity for Shubhman. 

Nitish Rana, who played a major role in getting Mumbai Indians in the title last season, is currently in Kolkata jersey this time. 

Team: - Dinesh Karthik (captain), Robin Uthappa (vice-captain), Chris Lynn, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Kuldeep Yadav, Piyush Chawla, Nitish Rana, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi, Mitchell Johnson, Shubhaman Gill, Vinay Kumar, Rinku Singh, Cameron Dellport, Javan Searles, Apoorva Wankhede, Ishank Jaggi, Tom Kurien.
