Their bowling attack has not been the best in the IPL season and the loss of Mitchell Johnson and Sandeep Sharma due to injury is nothing but like adding salt to their injury. Sandeep Sharma was their leading wicket taker in IPL with 18 wickets followed by Mitchell Johnson (17) who is struggling due to rib injury. However Akshar Patel who also bagged 17 wickets is still in the squad.
There is no doubt that their batsmen like Glenn Maxwell, George Bailey, David Miller, Virender Sehwag played an important role in taking Kings XI to their first IPL final. But what happened in the final? Their batsmen set a target of 200 for KKR with the help of Wriddhiman Saha's century but bowlers could not defend this total and they ended as runners up.
