LSG vs KKR Key Players

Varun Chakravarthy

Varun Chakravarthy seems to be finding his rhythm back. The last two games have been pretty good for him. The ball is gripping, and his carrom ball has worked well in particular in recent games.

Yash Thakur

With Mayank Yadav walking off again Yash Thakur could be in with another chance. He has been bowling pretty well and with a chance to play again Thakur will be hoping to put up a performance that could give the LSG management some headaches.
