KKR vs RR Key Players

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler has been a little slower in the last few games. With Jaiswal going really good at the other end he has been more than happy to play second fiddle. Buttler though, with a couple of silent games will be eager to push the pace in the upcoming encounter.

Jason Roy

Jason Roy has been providing KKR with the intent they were looking for upfront. He is scoring really well, and has been pretty consistent, allowing the KKR line-up to look a lot more dangerous with some dangerous stroke makers behind him.
