Kolkata Knight Riders' bowling attack no longer carries the same aura of fear and the "novelty factor" around their mystery spinners have faded, says former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Analysing the strength and weakness of KKR ahead of the IPL, Ashwin said India spinner Varun Chakravarthy will have a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. ADVERTISEMENT"I don't think oppositions will be worried after looking at KKR's bowling attack. "After the auction, I had said that KKR's bowling attack is solid. Now that I think about it, with Shreyas Iyer, you had a qualifying opportunity that went to another team," Ashwin said.
