This should be KKR's lineup
1. Gautam GAMBHIR (Bat)
2. Jacques KALLIS (O) (Bat/Bowl)
3. Manvinder BISLA (Bat/WK)
4. Shakib AL HASAN (O) (Bat/Bowl)
5. Manoj TIWARY (Bat)
6. Yusuf PATHAN (Bat/Bowl)
7. Rajat BHATIA (Bat/Bowl)
8. Iqbal ABDULLA (Bat/Bowl)
9. Sunil NARINE (O) (Bowl)
10. Brett LEE (O) (Bowl)
11. Lakshimipathy BALAJI (Bowl)

I know KKR will never let Shakib to bat at number 4.

I feel like this team combination will work perfectly as everyone has a role in the team which is most suited to them.

Shakib will be able to play his natural game and not get bogged down on coming in as a slogger. He will be able to build an innings if he bats a number number 4.

Shakib builds an innings then slogs at the end. He isnt that great batting ONLY as a slogger. He usually uses his confidence from building his innings to be able to slog at the end.

Narine is talented and should be able to showcase his talents more often.

4 Pacers - Lee, Balaji, Kallis (Bhatia for medium pacers)
There will be spinners that will be able to get the job done - Shakib, Narine, Abdulla & Pathan.

Pathan should come in as a slogger in the last 5 overs. He cant build an innings as well as Shakib can.

With this team KKR should be able to do well.
