Risk-Reward Alert
-
Ravi Bishnoi has a great record against left-handers and he will be a must-pick for this game, especially when KKR is batting 2nd.
-
Krunal Pandya’s bowling value decreases as there are plenty of left-handers in the KKR batting unit. You can drop him.
-
Quinton de Kock and Kyle Mayers (if he plays) can wreak havoc as KKR is struggling with their new ball bowling. Varun Chakravarthy is the only threat to the duo.
-
Yash Thakur and Mohsin Khan will be excellent differential picks, especially when KKR is batting 1st.
Probable KKR Playing XI:
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Jason Roy, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Shardul Thakur, Sunil Narine, Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakravarthy

Quinton de Kock (wk), Kyle Mayers/Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Ayush Badoni, Krishnappa Gowtham, Ravi Bishnoi, Ravi Bishnoi, Yash Thakur, Mohsin Khan
