Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rising Pune Supergiants

Transfer out: Brendon McCullum, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzi Chahal

Transfer in: Andre Russell, Robin Uthappa, Rajat Bhatia (uncapped)

Both these teams are coming off defeats and while the Supergiants have been all but knocked out of the tournament, KKR need to find their mojo again, in order to make it safely to the last 4.

Uthappa and Gambhir have failed to provide KKR with their trademark starts and that has been their major concern in their last two games. The spinner too aren’t getting the purchase that they are used to from the Eden Gardens track, and thus, their bowling just hasn’t seemed as good as it is supposed to be.

The Rising Pune Supergiants have had a season to forget. Marred by injuries, they just haven’t found the momentum that is important in a long tournament like this. Adam Zampa had a brilliant last game and Dhoni would be hoping for a repeat of his performance if they want to end the tournament on a high. Rahane has been good at the top of the order but Rahane can’t win you games on his own and he needs people to play around him, something that just hasn’t happened.

The first player that I bring in for this game is Andre Russell. You just have to get him in because he has been destructive with both bat and ball. Also, KKR play twice in 4 games, so you just can’t leave the MVP out.

The second player that I get in is Uthappa. I opt for him ahead of Gambhir because he also gives me the luxury of getting a few points through his wicket keeping skills.

I do not opt for any RPS player because according to Dhoni’s comments in the last game, they would be making a few changes to their side and hence you can’t be sure as to who will take the field from their side today.

Rahane could be a good and safe pick but as RPSG do not play their next game for quite some time, I leave him out.

If you have 21 transfers or more, you could try your luck with Zampa. But I wouldn’t want to place my bets on any other RPSG player at this stage

For the uncapped player, I bring in Rajat Bhatia, he is no newcomer to the Eden Gardens and has played a lot for the KKR there and thus would be able to use his experience to good advantage

Batting captain: Robin Uthappa

Bowling captain: Andre Russell (if KKR bowl first)/ Rajat Bhatia (if RPSG bowl first)
