The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season is set to start from April 9 onwards. This season will be a bit of a challenge for teams given the limitation of six venues, bio bubble and action without fans. Like every IPL season, there are a set of players in the competition who are the prime assets for their teams. These players have that extra bit of edge to often tilt the factor in favour of their respective sides. There are also emerging players who crop up and go on to show consistency as time progresses. On this account, we look at the most dangerous players of each team in IPL 2021.

KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS

Shubman Gill has done a lot of fine things of late in his young career. The KKR youngster and Team India batsman is someone who can set the tempo for the side atop. With KKR looking up to Gill for positive starts, his influence will be massive. KKR do not have an established opening duo and therefore Gill's importance is of huge value. With 939 runs in 41 matches for KKR, Gill will aim to better the 440-run mark achieved last season. Shakib Al Hasan's return to KKR is a huge bonus. Shakib was bought in the IPL 2021 Auction after having represented the franchise previously under Gautam Gambhir. With some mouth-watering records in the game, Shakib is a consistent force. His bowling on the slow tracks will help KKR. He is a celebrated performer and will bolster KKR's spin show.
