Gautam Gambir has been in good touch, he is scoring consistently at top of the order in every format of the game for Team India and he is believed to be next captain of the side.Yusuf Pathan
The hard hitter Pathan from Baroda was the trump card of Rajasthan Royals in the last seasons. He was devastating the opposition with his unconventional batting style. He is a regular member of Indian T-20side. He was out of the Indian ODI team due to lack of form but he continued his good form in the shortest version of the games. He was bided by Kolkata Knight Riders at the second highest price in the Auction history of Indian Premier League for a amount of $ 2.1 million..He is handy as bowlers too for the Kolkata Knight Riders. He is right arm off spin bowler, the skiddy customer was well utilised by Dhoni in preventing the run flow and occasional wickets for the side. He scored his first IPL century in the last edition of IPL for Rajasthan Royals. Manoj Twivary
He is one of the few batsmen from Kolkata after Saurav Ganguly made their presence felt in the international arena of Cricket. The man from Kolkata is Chota DADA for the people of Kolkata. He was playing for Delhi Dare Devils Kolkata Knight Riders in the Last Edition of Indian Premier League. He represented Indian ODI's, but he couldn't make much impact he could only score 2 runs from his single match that played against Australia. Even then he is considered to be succours of Saurav Ganguly, he has been the captain of Kolkata Ranji Team. He played for Delhi Dare Devils in the first two seasons then during the third season he was taken by Kolkata Knight Riders. Manoj Twiwary is also handy with ball, the right arm leg spinner add to the tally of all rounder's in the squad. LaksmiPathy Balaji
The right handed medium pacer from Tamilnadu is not an inclusion in the side; even though he hasn't played for the national side since 2006. He has been playing for Chennai super kings in the Last Season and he performed reasonably well for the side. He was suffering from injuries after 2006 in it seems to have due the injuries he has lost his pace, he is much concentrating on swing now. His slow bowls have worked in the last season and it remains the sharp weapon remaining with the Tamil nadu Pacer.Jaidev Unadkat
The 19 year medium pacer made his debut in the national side against South Africa in December 2010. He was called as replacement for injured Zaheer Khan. But the debutant young lad couldn't add to his wicket tally. His recent performance in the domestic circuit for Saurashtra made his way to the National Side. In his 9 matches played for Saurashtra he took 31 wickets with best performance of 7 for 41. Jaidev Unadkat was the member of Kolkata Knight Riders in the last season; he made his debut against Kings XI Punjab. International Players of Kolkata Knight Riders of Season - 4 IPL 2011
Jacques Kallis
The veteran is in the form of his life, he completed his 39th test century in the game against India at centurion. He is being playing international cricket for twenty years for South Africa but the all rounder was not given the star value since last edition of Indian Premier League. Jacques Kallis was considered as a test player. Kallis , Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble were the part of Royal Challengers Bangalore . The team was criticised as a test team, but Kallis as an opening batter of the side led from the front. He was the leading run getter of the second season of Indian Premier League in which they lost to Deccan Chargers in the final match. Jacus Kallis is the leading Run getter for south Africa in Test and ODI's. He has scored over a ten thousand runs in test cricket and Brad Haddin
The Australian wicket keeper is making his debut in the Indian Premier League this year for Kolkata Knight Riders. He made his place in the Australian national cricket team after the retirement of Adam Gilchrest. He made his debut in international cricket against West Indies in 2008.He cemented his place in both ODI and Team with improved performance. The Australian is an attacking batter; he is making good contribution to the team at lower middle order. Ashes was dismal for Australia this time but haddin could pull out two half centuries and some valuable match saving Knocks with the tail Enders. Bret Lee
Bret Lee the Australian speedster was out of the international arena due injury vows. Bret lee announced his retirement from test cricket in 2010. He is hoping make a comeback to national cricket with thr T-20 world cup this year. The star value of the Australian is not yet faded he was bided by KKR with a handsome money of $400,000.Bret lee has been the second fastest bowler after Shoib Akthar , ut he has lost bit pace but he is consistently delivering over 140 kmph. The fitness condition is of Bret Lee is still a matter of concern for the Kolkata Knight Riders Camp.Shakib Al Hasan
He is a real gem for Kolkata knight Riders, he is a genuine all rounder for the side. He was appointed as the captain of the Bangladesh squad in 2009 at the age of 22 after Asharaful was removed from the post. He is more than a replacement for Jacques Kallis. He is both good with ball and bat, he is a complete all rounder. We cannot caterogtise him as a batting or balling all rounder but he is equally good in both departments. He has scored tons against the top ranked nations and got wickets against the top batting order also.James Pattinson
Australians are in high demand in the Indian Premier League season -4. James Pattinson have only played 4 domestic T-20 matches Australian domestic circuit, still he is preferred over the experienced players. James Pattinson is left hand medium pacer from Australia. He has got best of 6 for 48in the domestic tournament.with this performance he broke the 40 year old record of Graeme Watson of best figures by a Victorian Eoin Morgan
One of the few from England to be a part of IPL season -4, Moragan is member of England ODI and T-20 squad. The middle order batter for England is averaging well above 50 in all formats of the game. He made his debut in international cricket in 2010 against Bangladesh. He can be a handy in the middle order for Kolkata Knight RidersRyan ten Doeschate
