Wicket-Keeper
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (7.5 Cr) was able to prove his importance on the field and holds greater potential to find consistent batting efforts which can make its way through to this match.
Batsman
David Warner (9.0 Cr) lost his wicket early in the last match and has proven to be a pillar in the batting lineup with his responsible role that can push him to regain his form as a potential game-changer.
Nitish Rana (8.5 Cr) failed to make his presence known in the last match but holds consistent spells which could keep him motivated to maintain a stronger momentum for this contest.
Venkatesh Iyer (8.0 Cr) became the 2nd batsman to score a century for KKR with a solid 104 runs at a strike rate of 203.92 which can keep him ready to showcase his form as our prime choice for this encounter.
All-rounders
Axar Patel (9.0 Cr) can score runs and create decent wickets with far greater potential for more that can be uncovered with his building form after every passing match.
Shardul Thakur (8.5 Cr) has the potential but lacks consistency in maintaining his chances which could keep him focused an determined to make his presence known in this contest.
Andre Russell (8.5 Cr) holds brilliant batting skills in the middle order which was witnessed in the last match but should keep him focused on regaining his confidence to showcase his blend of talent.
Bowlers
Kagiso Rabada (9.0 Cr) continued with his consistent performance after finding 2 wickets at an economy rate of 7.25 in his last match whic should improve further as the series progresses.
Anrich Nortje (9.0 Cr) was able to add 2 wickets but is yet to showcase his capabilities that can certainly make its way through on this surface added with his recent batting improvements.
Kuldeep Yadav (8.5 Cr) added 2 wickets to his already building performance which takes his total to 4 wickets in the last 5 matches taking him a step closer to finding improvements.
Varun Chakravarthy (7.5 Cr) can find at least one wicket with greater potnetial for more which was also the case for his last match and could prove effective for this contest.
Suyash Sharma (6.0 Cr) was the game-changer in the last match after adding 2 important wickets at an economy rate of 6.75 which makes him an important wicket-taker for this contest.
