If you are talking about players who can bowl a bit or bat a bit in addition to other skills that is not really huge advantage in a T20 game. You need match winners and match turning players. Suer you had one in Balaji though. Tell me how many match winners KKR has. I don't see beyond Gauti and Yusuf. Yusuf off color.
Single handed matchwinner? Not really. But cricket is a team game, You have players like Kallis, Yusuf who can bat as well and bowl 4 overs. Shakib as well, this team had they played to their potential should have been to top 2. How do you defend losses against Kochi? both the matches they had in the bag for the most time, Against MI and the first match against CSK too. Screwd up completely by poor captaincy. This team should have finished in top 2.

Sh** happens. At the end of the day it is a fresh start in playoff scenario.
