KOL vs RR Must Picks
Yuzvendra Chahal has been one of the Royals’ greatest performers this season, and he has maintained his dominance into the opening game. Chahal has only failed to pick a wicket in a match once this tournament. He now has the Purple Cap and was named Player of the Match versus KKR in the most recent game.
Jos Buttler hit another half-century in the previous game against the Mumbai Indians. In the competition, he has already scored three century and three half-centuries. Buttler has 566 runs in 9 matches with a strike rate of 155.06 and an average of 70.75.
Shreyas Iyer is the Kolkata Knight Riders’ leading run-scorer in this season’s league. He has scored 290 runs in 9 games, with an average of 36.25 and a strike rate of 137.44. He has two half-centuries in the previous five games and was the leading scorer for KKR versus RR in their most recent encounter.
Only once in the past five matches has Nitish Rana been dismissed for a single-digit score. He has supplied the middle-order steadiness that KKR required. Rana batted at number six in the previous game against the Delhi Capitals, scoring 57 runs off 34 deliveries to help KKR score 146 runs in 20 overs.
Andre Russell is the only player in this season’s league who has scored more than 200 runs and taken ten or more wickets. He has been dismissed for a duck twice in the past three matches, so KKR will be looking for a stronger effort from him.
Ravichandran Ashwin has taken 7 wickets in the previous four matches for RR and has been one of the team’s main bowlers. With the bat, he has scored more than 15 runs in the last two games.
