KKR this season has been a roller coaster ride for them either they peak up and touch down or rock the bottom, they have played four games where they have won two games and lost two games. Last year Champions are stepping up with the form. KKR played their last game against SRH which was a repeat of last year's final which KKR won. Though KKR won that encounter too, SRH being considered a strong batting side has struggled a lot this season.
KKR are going to play their next game against LSG who are on to their winning phase too. But challenging KKR in Kolkata is a different task. The major factor in this match is Rishabh Pant who is been searching for his form last 4 matches have been very hard for Rishah and he couldn't coincide his price with the current form he is going through.

Rishabh Pant At His Lowest
Rishabh Pant was the talk of the town after the auction which was held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Rishabh Pant was bought by LSG for 27 crores making him the highest-priced player in the history of IPL. But the performance was shaky at the start of the league where he scored a duck against Delhi, who previously played for them. Tough Lucknow Super Giants has managed to win 2 games out of 4 but the contribution of Pant has been none.
In his next three outings too, he looked much shabby where he scored (15,02,02) which doesn't justify his talent. Though experts think that Pant is being ultra-aggressive where he loses his concentration though what might be the format you can't go from ball one. Even Pant is out from the Indian team too and this type of scoring won't help him to get back into the side, where his next game is against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Otis Gibson Takes A Dig In Rishabh Pant Form
Kolkata Knight Riders are going to play their next game against LSG where a question was asked to assistant coach Gibson that how much they are prepared for Rishah Pant, he says their bowling unit is ready for any such plans by the opposition. "We actually just had our planning meetings and we know how dangerous he can be. And of course, he hasn't had any form yet. We hope that that continues this week as well. So we've planned for every possibility. If he opens, if he moves position, we've planned for all of that.
Both the teams have found their victory ways this season but KKR seems to be more comfortable with the current situation if Pant gets on going it would be dangerous for them to handle already LSG has few explosive batsmen, and KKR too has a new hero in their bowling unit, Vaibhav Arora who has impressed a lot can be a threat for LSG in their upcoming encounter.
