KKR vs SRH: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

Finn Allen showed some glimpses of his ability against MI but got out at the wrong time. But he will like batting in Kolkata, and his 33-ball century against South Africa came at this venue. For SRH, stand-in captain Ishan Kishan is in good form, and he will be the big wicket.

Probable Best Bowler

Sunil Narine holds the key for KKR because of his experience in Kolkata. He can take wickets in the middle overs. For SRH, Harshal Patel is the all-phase bowler, and his team will expect him to perform well.

Today Match Prediction: SRH have a weaker bowling unit, with not many wicket-taking options. Hence, we predict KKR, who are playing at home, to win this game.
