Player Picks
Sunil Narine KKR | ALL
Sunil Narine has scored 276 runs and has taken seven wickets so far in the tournament. Moreover, the KKR opener slammed a blazing century in the last match against RR.
Virat Kohli RCB | BAT
Virat Kohli is the backbone of the RCB batting unit and the opener is currently the highest run-scorer in the tournament with 361 runs. It is noteworthy that Kohli scored 83 runs in the previous match against KKR.
Dinesh Karthik RCB | WK
Dinesh Karthik is in red-hot form and can easily be described as RCB's second-best batter this season. The veteran keeper-batter has scored 226 runs from seven matches at a strike rate of 205.45, including two half-centuries.
Philip Salt KKR | WK
Philp Salt has been giving a blazing start for KKR throughout the season. However, he extended his contribution beyond the powerplay with a match-winning 89 off 47 balls against LSG.
Venkatesh Iyer KKR | ALL
Venkatesh Iyer had scored a match-winning fifty when the two teams met earlier this season. The southpaw, who seems to be enjoying RCB's bowling, will look to play his part in the upcoming match as well.
Andre Russell KKR | ALL
Andre Russell has excelled in both departments this season. Known for his power-hitting, the Caribbean giant did not get a chance to bat in the previous encounter against RCB, but shone with the ball, taking two wickets.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi KKR | BAT
Angkrish Raghuvanshi grabbed the limelight in his very first IPL match by scoring a half-century at a strike rate of 200. He has made similarly impactful cameos in subsequent matches.
Varun Chakravarthy KKR | BOWL
RCB batters' struggle against spinners is well known and Shreyas Iyer is likely to make Varun Chakravarthy their main weapon. Known for his mystery spin, the right-arm bowler will be key for KKR in the middle overs.
Faf du Plessis RCB | BAT
Faf du Plessis' form was a concern at the start of the tournament, but he found his rhythm as it progressed. The RCB skipper scored 60-plus scores in the last two matches and looks to be in great form.

Saurav Chauhan
RCB | WK
Saurav Chauhan has had a few chances but the youngster is yet to make an impact. He seems to be really struggling to find form, having failed to make 10 runs in the last three matches.
Mitchell Starc
KKR | BOWL
Mitchell Starc hasn't had a great comeback in the cash-rich league. He conceded 47 runs for no wicket against RCB in their previous match. Moreover, in the last match against RR, the left-arm pacer conceded 50 runs without taking a wicket.
