Kolkata Knight Riders

Comprising of all the big-name T20 specialist batters Sunil Narine, Quinton de Kock, Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, and Ramandeep Singh, the KKR batting line-up has struggled in the first three matches. However, they are all proven top-class hitters, so KKR should be keeping their trust in the pack. Spencer Johnson has been poor with the ball but has been constantly chosen over Anrich Nortje, and can be trusted again. Varun Chakaravarthy is the side's ace spinner, he should stay, along with the prime pacers Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, the lethal top-order of Sunrisers Hyderabad failed in the last match against Delhi Capitals, however with proven quality, all the players should remain intact in their respective positions. Heinrich Klaasen and Aniket Verma the mid-order duo that helped SRH post a respectable total must not be altered either. Abhinav Manohar might get a chance again. Pat Cummins being the captain is staying, with other ace pacers Harshal Patel and Mohammad Shami. Zeeshan Ansari, who picked three wickets in the last match should have already booked his slot.
