Pitch Report

Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium is probably the only venue that has shown some mercy to the bowlers in this IPL. When 200+ scorers are scored for fun on other grounds, here, the bowlers have managed to trouble the batters. However, the batters will have a slight advantage and so will the chasing side.

Captains

Philip Salt KKR | wk – 6.5

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 – 9

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 – 9

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.


Top

KL Rahul LSG | BAT – 9

LSG’s skipper is the backbone of their batting unit. Rahul has amassed over 400 runs in 10 matches at an average of 40.60 and a strike rate of 142.96.

Venkatesh Iyer KKR | ALL – 8.5

Venkatesh Iyer has been performing well for KKR in recent times. In their last match against MI, the southpaw played a crucial knock of 70 off 52 balls, including six fours and three sixes.

Varun Chakravarthy KKR | BOWL – 8

Varun Chakravarthy is a master at controlling the run flow and picking up crucial wickets in the middle overs. He grabbed five wickets in the last two outings, including a POTM award.


Budget

Andre Russell KKR | all – 9

Andre Russell is an indispensable player in any XI. Russell’s all-round brilliance makes him a crucial asset to the KKR team. He is someone who can single-handedly take the game away from his opponents with his power hitting.

Marcus Stoinis LSG | bat – 8

Marcus Stoinis’ return to form has boosted LSG’s confidence. The Australian all-rounder recently scored a match-winning century against CSK and slammed a crucial 45-ball 62 against MI in their last match.

Mitchell Starc KKR | bowl – 8.5

Mitchell Starc had taken a three-wicket haul in the last encounter against LSG. The KKR pacer has been under fire for his string of poor performances. However, he managed to shut his critics with a four-fer against MI in their last match.
