Players to Watch
Sunil Narine has not got his form this season. He had an outstanding season last year. Every KKR fan hopes for his comeback to form.
Venkatesh Iyer the most priceable player in the auction for KKR, has not performed up to the mark. He needs to perform now.
Andre Russell, one of the best finishers of KKR will have huge expectations of fans.
It will also be seen if Vaibhav Arora gets a chance to play. In the last match, KKR need to use one more batsman (Manish Pandey) as an impact player due to early wicket-falling.
Travis Head, SRH's opener is one whom cricket fans wish to see him playing.
Ishan Kishan scored a century in the first match but after that runs dried up from his bat. He needs to perform well.
Adam Zampa may be seen as playing. He did not play the last match. SRH has used Batsman as an impact player due to early wicket-falling.
