KKR will be facing the in form Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next game in Sharjah on 12th of October. The most important member of their team in Andre Russell might not play the game as he got injured in the previous game. With Sunil Narine being reported, KKR will be under immense pressure.

Captain Dinesh Karthik back to form

KKR would be very happy with the things have panned out for them in the season so far. Their bowling attack has been top notch from the 2nd game of the season and they never looked back from then.

Their captain Dinesh Karthik was under the scanner with his form and many were even batting for his sacking but he proved that form is temporary and class is permanent. The way he played in the game against KXIP was a prime example of what a quality T20 player he is. He scored a 29 ball 58 at a strike rate of exactly 200 on a difficult wicket to bat which helped KKR to go past a match winning total.
