Colombo Kings has the strongest squad on paper among the @LPLT20 teams. But they have a major unexpected problem that could lead us to their downfall. Colombo Kings don’t have any left-hand batsman in their ranks. They only end up getting right-handers in the LPL draft. The only left-hand batsman they got is bowling all-rounder Tharindu Rathnayake. With all the star power in the Colombo kings squad, he is not expected to play in the final 11.

Here is the Colombo Kings squad,

This unexpected team combination could expose Colombo Kings to a targeted strategy by other teams like using left-arm spinners and Leg break bowlers. This will be a talking point in the upcoming LPL tournament since left & right combination of a batsman in the middle considered as a crucial thing in T20 cricket.
