Sam Billings
Andre Russell
Sunil Narine
Tim Southee
Umesh Yadav
Shivam Mavi
Varun Chakravarthy
- A Russell struggled with his fitness last game which meant KKR had to go their 6th bowling option V Iyer at the death. So, they’re likely to add to their bowling depth by bringing in S Mavi for S Jackson.
- V Iyer, S Iyer and A Russell are their key batters and S Narine and V Chakravarthy will be their key bowlers in this fixture.
- Sam Billings will keep the wickets for KKR if Jackson isn’t in the playing eleven.

Varun Chakravarthy Stats in T20
