- The team is expected to make 1 changes for this match.
- No injury issues reported by the KKR team management.
KKR Playing 11 (likely)
Kolkata Knight Riders won’t do any change unless Andre Russell or Lockie Ferguson are fit to play, as the rest of the team is playing decent and Morgan’s form with Gill is a concern for the team. Tim Seifert playing at that position is not a correct decision, and Ben Cutting/Shakib Al Hasan could be a better option, until the time, one of the players get fit and make their way to the XI. While Lockie can make a comeback in the place of Tim Southee, if he recovers from the injury. The contribution by spinners will be crucial and they are the main players in the XI, along with Venkatesh and Rahul in the batting department.
