KKR vs LSG: Player to Watch Out For
Probable Best Batter
Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been the best KKR batter this season and has scored two half-centuries already. For LSG, captain Rishabh Pant played a match-winning knock in the last game and will be looking to do it again.
Probable Best Bowler
Mohammed Shami was superb in the last game against SRH, and his ability to pick early wickets makes him a big threat. For KKR, Vaibhav Arora has the ability to move the new ball and can be nippy in the powerplay.
Today Match Prediction: KKR are in horrible form at the moment and are struggling a lot. LSG had a good last game, and we predict them to win the next game.
