The IPL 2014 champions Kolkata Knight Riders would be feeling relieved after their main and experienced strike batsman Jacques Kallis decided to opt for KKR instead of South African champions Cape Cobras.
He is the mainstay of his IPL franchisee. Beside expirience he is an extraordinary cricket equiped with skills to change the complexion of the game both with bat and as well as with ball. In 98 IPL matches, he has scored 2427 runs at an average of 28.55 with strike rate of 109.
In 2014 edition, he played 8 matches and scored 151 runs and took 4 wickets. A lot will be depending upon him to win KKR's maiden CLT20 title.
