Kolkata Knight Riders Team Preview

BATTING Camp

• Opening pair was a major point of concern for the team, more than half of the tournament was finished and the management tried 7 different pairs. Jason Roy and Rahmanullah Gurbaz are currently opening for the team and have performed well.
• The middle batting order is composed of brilliant Indian batters who can change the match with their hitting skills. N Rana, V Iyer, and R Singh have performed very well in this season so far. 

BOWLING Camp

• Spin bowling is the major plus point in KKR’s squad, they have quality spinners like – V Chakravarthy, S Narine, and Suyash Sharma in their team who are brilliant in the middle overs.
• Pace attack is not impressive having new Indian bowlers in the team. Harshit Rana has impressed everyone with his swing abilities. 

KKR Possible Starting 11

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Jason Roy, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana (c), Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy

Lucknow SuperGiants Team Preview

BATTING Camp

• After the departure of KL Rahul the team is struggling in putting runs on the board. All the pressure is on De Kock’s and Mayer’s shoulders to carry the LSG batting department. 
• The batting order is quite fierce but there is a lack of experienced Indian batters. 
• Nicholas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis are also looking great, as we witnessed in the last game against MI, this duo can wreak havoc in opposition’s bowling attack.

BOWLING Camp

• Since Mohsin Khan is back from injury, the LSG pace attack is finally looking in good shape. The young left arm pacer saved 11 runs in the last over against MI’s best hitters Cameron Green and Tim David
• Spin attack is not impressive, they have only Ravi Bishnoi in good touch, however, Krunal Pandya bowled very well in the last game and took 2 important wickets.

LSG Possible Starting 11

Quinton de Kock (wk), Kyle Mayers, P Mankad, Krunal Pandya (c), Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Swapnil Singh, Yash Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan
