KKR struggle for consistency blwoing hot and cold but the win in their previous game will keep them happy. They got past SRH with ease with their middle order performing well and the bowling attack easily making it through the Sunrisers batting line-up. Venkatesh Iyer finds form and Rinku Singh got some time out in the middle which will keep them positive as well.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants Players to Watch

Abdul Samad

Abdul Samad seems to have found a happy home in Lucknow. He is getting more chances to bat in a position where he can settle in and then slog with the cushion of having batters behind him. With a better platform and the presence of someone like Shardul Thakur, who is capable to hit as well, Samad has a bigger lever here to go for it.

Harshit Rana

Harshit Rana has enjoyed a good period in recent times. He loves challenges and will relish the challenge against SRH's batting unit. Can his aggressive nature match the competition given to him?
