Player Picks
Philip Salt KKR | WK
Phil Salt was the Player of the Match (89* off 47) when KKR beat LSG last time. The opening batter has been in excellent form this season, scoring nearly 400 runs at a strike rate of 180.45.
Sunil Narine KKR | ALL
Sunil Narine is a vital cog in the KKR unit, thanks to his all-round brilliance. The KKR pinch-hitter has taken 380 runs and 13 wickets so far this season.
Nicholas Pooran LSG | WK
Nicholas Pooran had scored 45 runs in the previous KKR vs LSG clash. The Caribbean big-hitter is LSG's key strength in the middle order and can also provide a fiery finish for the team.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Deepak Hooda
LSG | ALL
Deepak Hooda was dismissed of just 8 runs against LSG last time. The middle-order batter is still struggling to find his form and it would be wise to leave him out of your fantasy teams.
Shreyas Iyer
KKR | BAT
Shreyas Iyer is yet to play a remarkable knock this season. His bat has not found a way to score runs easily and the KKR skipper's struggling form looks set to continue in the upcoming match.
