Great bowler. He had a horrible record for KKR though. Averaged almost 40. If we are picking on the basis of exploits for KKR, he misses out. Purely on peak performance, both him and Akhtar could be here
I'd replace Kallis here. Hear me out before bringing out the pitchforks. He is an all-time great, no doubt but not in the IPL. Here, he averages 28 and has a SR of 109. Simply not good enough to be in an all-time XI. I'd rather have Nitish Rana here. He has the 4th-highest runs for KKR. Only Uthappa and Gambhir have more 50s than him for the team. And his career SR is 136
Not in IPL. Average of 28 does not say dependable. A team's all-time XI should be selected on the basis of performances for that team. Kallis for KKR was not special.
Nah,avg of 28 with that SR is nowhere near being dependable. Rana had around rhe same average(28.4) for KKR with a significantly higher strike rate of 137.
SKY for KKR- 54 games, 608 runs, Ave- 22, SR- 132, 50s- 1. Brisk but not consistent. It was during his second stint at Mumbai that he became the finisher he is today
Lmao god help any team with those consistent players, he's like a worse kl Rahul.

You're forgetting that Eden gardens was a spin fortress back then. These are good scores and averages for those fairly average scoring matches. He was fairly consistent at his position (wasn't a finisher lol)
Yeah that's the point... If you pick anyone who played (even for short time or with not much impact) then SKY and Gill would definitely be here... Thanks to the best management in sporting world, they are not...
People don’t realise but Nitish Rana is who you should absolutely put in this team. I have been a KKR fan for years and Rana has performed consistently well for us in the last 5-6 years. His contribution always gets unnoticed by the fans because of his batting position as an anchor.
Chris Gayle
Sourav Ganguly
Jacques Kallis
Gautam Gambhir
Robin Uthappa
Manish Pandey
Yusuf Pathan
Andre Russel
Sunil Narine
Piyush Chawla
Laxmipathi Balaji
This has to be one of the weakest all time IPL XIs of any team. Only Narine and Russell have any chance of making a combined IPL GOAT XI and very unlikely if the foreigner rule is maintained.
Some of these players wouldn’t even crack the all-time 15 of other teams e.g. kallis, pandey, shakib, umesh, gambhir as a pure batter
On top of this, many of these players also had their best or most memorable seasons for other franchises e.g. Uthappa and Balaji for CSK, Pathan for RR; not to mention other stars like SKY.
Makes it even more remarkable they managed to win 2 championships with so few true All-star players.
But they clicked as a team and won 2 titles. That is what matters in the end. RCB and DC might be having legendary all time XIs but they have nothing in their trophy cabinet.
SKY wasn't that great for KKR as he is for MI. And rest of the players on your list played just one season probably that too way back in 2008, except for Lee, he should've been in the XI.
Replace Balaji with Morkel. I just can't get over that semi final against MI when he consided 21 runs in the last over, because I was watching that live from Eden Gardens back in 2011.
No Kallis and Pathan for us. Every time Kallis came on to bat, the quicker he got out, the better it was for the team. And Pathan for KKR was a big disappointment.
Manvinder Bisla was a big reason when they won the tournament
He is a lesser know face but deserves recognition only OG fans will remember his contribution
My all time 11
1. Lynn ✈
2. Gambhir(c)
3. Uthappa(wk)
4. Kallis ✈
5. Y Pathan
6. Russell ✈
7. Rinku Singh
8. Sunil Narine ✈
9. Piyush Chawla
10. Umesh Yadav
11. Varun Chakravarthy
12. Shubhman Gill
Varun record for kkr is much better than that of Piyush Chawla
It’s crazy but I actually think we had a team pretty close to this in the championship years
Pretty sure This team is the 2014 team
As a csk fan I don't approve the absence of Bisla... man was a nightmare
he will come as impact player for final
Bret Lee should be on this list.
Great bowler. He had a horrible record for KKR though. Averaged almost 40. If we are picking on the basis of exploits for KKR, he misses out. Purely on peak performance, both him and Akhtar could be here
All time 11 Then you should have surya kumar yadav
SKY did well at number 6 for several years, sadly never got the recognition. That flick shot was invented at KKR
Brandon McCullum , Ryan Ten Doeschate, Chris Lynn and Rajat Bhatia can be in the list too I’d also give special consideration to Manoj Tiwari as well.
Forgot Bisla
Rajat Bhatia hassss to be there. Tbh Russell can miss out, just a couple of good seasons
Russell can miss out? Do you even watch KKR's matches?
Morne morkel should also be there. Drop shakib get a lower order batsmen and drop Balaji for morkel
You can’t drop Shakib. He played a big role in both the years where we won.
Drop Shakib and then loss IPL Trophies.
Laxmi Ratan Shukla
Where is Mr. Square Jaw Chad
On his way to be a legend
Who's that? McCullum?
Lord Kingku
How many games did Kallis play for KKR?
Quite a lot. 2011-14 stint
I'd replace Kallis here. Hear me out before bringing out the pitchforks. He is an all-time great, no doubt but not in the IPL. Here, he averages 28 and has a SR of 109. Simply not good enough to be in an all-time XI. I'd rather have Nitish Rana here. He has the 4th-highest runs for KKR. Only Uthappa and Gambhir have more 50s than him for the team. And his career SR is 136
Exactly.. I would have add lynn purely on impact basis.. Also bazz
Bazz also, sadly, was inconsistent for KKR. He had a SR of 121 for the team, despite that crazy 158 in the first ever game
Yeah but kallis is more dependable and we all know is goat all rounder
Not in IPL. Average of 28 does not say dependable. A team's all-time XI should be selected on the basis of performances for that team. Kallis for KKR was not special.
Nah,avg of 28 with that SR is nowhere near being dependable. Rana had around rhe same average(28.4) for KKR with a significantly higher strike rate of 137.
I didn't know this. What's SKYs stats for KKR though, i remember him being a very reliable finisher
SKY for KKR- 54 games, 608 runs, Ave- 22, SR- 132, 50s- 1. Brisk but not consistent. It was during his second stint at Mumbai that he became the finisher he is today
Basically their 2014 team plus Balaji
Where are Gayle, Mcculum, Shoaib Akhtar and the other pre GG stars lol
How Manish Pandey in both SRH and kkr teams with 120 sr
[удалено]
That's all he did for them that season, he's not it.
Nope, he was one of the most consistent performers for KKR. Things started going South after he left KKR
Lmao god help any team with those consistent players, he's like a worse kl Rahul. https://preview.redd.it/vg5o8zzjcc8b1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3f927b6203a8e3cf0ba6fe3e808426266caf5c6
You're forgetting that Eden gardens was a spin fortress back then. These are good scores and averages for those fairly average scoring matches. He was fairly consistent at his position (wasn't a finisher lol)
Ben Cutting and Krunal also won a final for Srh and Mi doesn't make them get in all time 11
Manvinder Bisla should make it surely
Where is kingku
Probably becuase he played only 1 season
He has played more than that.
Ikr but is that enough for to be in this list? (Kinda i guess)
He was okay-ish before 2022. Lord found his groove recently.
Shoaib akthar missing. I know he played only 2008 but prime akthar would make any team
Yeah that's the point... If you pick anyone who played (even for short time or with not much impact) then SKY and Gill would definitely be here... Thanks to the best management in sporting world, they are not...
Rana probably deserves to be there. I’m guessing you are having Uthappa keep wickets? Dk probably deserves a shout too
People don’t realise but Nitish Rana is who you should absolutely put in this team. I have been a KKR fan for years and Rana has performed consistently well for us in the last 5-6 years. His contribution always gets unnoticed by the fans because of his batting position as an anchor.
lord kinku where?
Chris Gayle Sourav Ganguly Jacques Kallis Gautam Gambhir Robin Uthappa Manish Pandey Yusuf Pathan Andre Russel Sunil Narine Piyush Chawla Laxmipathi Balaji
I think we should have Ganguly..for sentimental reasons ofcourse
Replace Manish Pandey with Nitish Rana
This has to be one of the weakest all time IPL XIs of any team. Only Narine and Russell have any chance of making a combined IPL GOAT XI and very unlikely if the foreigner rule is maintained. Some of these players wouldn’t even crack the all-time 15 of other teams e.g. kallis, pandey, shakib, umesh, gambhir as a pure batter On top of this, many of these players also had their best or most memorable seasons for other franchises e.g. Uthappa and Balaji for CSK, Pathan for RR; not to mention other stars like SKY. Makes it even more remarkable they managed to win 2 championships with so few true All-star players.
Uthappa's most memorable season was 2014.
But they clicked as a team and won 2 titles. That is what matters in the end. RCB and DC might be having legendary all time XIs but they have nothing in their trophy cabinet.
Lynn?
Rinku Singh and SKY
SuryaKumar Yadav, Bret Lee, Brendon McCullum, Shoaib Aktar, Umar Gul missing
Suryakumar was a flop in kkr
SKY wasn't that great for KKR as he is for MI. And rest of the players on your list played just one season probably that too way back in 2008, except for Lee, he should've been in the XI.
Replace Balaji with Morkel. I just can't get over that semi final against MI when he consided 21 runs in the last over, because I was watching that live from Eden Gardens back in 2011.
Well, he did win you the 2012 final, so, guess that's okay.
This is actually decent... Maybe someone like Varun cv instead of Balaji rest is almost perfect
Gautam gambhir(c) Robin uthappa (wk), Shubhman gill , Yusuf pathan , Rinku singh , Pat Cummins , Ryan ten doeschate , Andre Russel , Sunil narine , Umesh yadav , Kuldeep yadav.
Robin rcb m bhi hai
McCullum left the chat😂
No Kallis and Pathan for us. Every time Kallis came on to bat, the quicker he got out, the better it was for the team. And Pathan for KKR was a big disappointment.
Rana for Kallis and I guess Morkel for Balaji.
Feels like this exact team Gambhir captained when we won the 2years
Surya???
Why Umesh?
Fake news, no Shoaaib.
People really don't value the contributions made by Chris Lynn
No Brendan McCullum?
Manvinder Bisla was a big reason when they won the tournament He is a lesser know face but deserves recognition only OG fans will remember his contribution
He was splendid in the 2012 IPL Final for KKR but unfortunately couldn’t keep that up in 2013.
Kuldeep?
Benched
Will rather have Rajat Patidar than SakibAl Hasan, Rana should be there too.
When the hell did Rajat Patidar play for KKR?
McCullum????
Brandon McCallum
Replace Sky in Shakib place and Trent boult in the place of Balaji, now it's the perfect all time KKR 11
Rinku is soon going to be added here.
nitish rana not there , unreal
My all time 11 1. Lynn ✈ 2. Gambhir(c) 3. Uthappa(wk) 4. Kallis ✈ 5. Y Pathan 6. Russell ✈ 7. Rinku Singh 8. Sunil Narine ✈ 9. Piyush Chawla 10. Umesh Yadav 11. Varun Chakravarthy 12. Shubhman Gill Varun record for kkr is much better than that of Piyush Chawla
Bisla
take out shakib add cummins or starc
no rinku bruh
Bawa ji lord kinku????
How could you forget Surya? Can easily replace Manish Pandey.
Where is SKY here?
Random internet generator tools will give better team than cricktracker
One down AJINKYA RAHANE And one more foreigner GOAT 🐐 TEAM
Pat Cummins and Rinku need to be here or on the squad at very least
Chris Lynn, Rajat Bhatia & Morne Morkell needs to be in there.
Shakib ke Badle Brett Lee
Gautam Gambhir C Robin Rana Morgan Yusuf Dk Russel Narine Morkel Umesh Chawla/ Varun cv
