KKR vs GT: Six key players

KKR: (Jason Roy, Nitish Rana and Varun Chakravarthy) Jason Roy has scored back-to-back half-centuries and is tasked with providing a good start at the top. Nitish Rana is consistently scoring runs in the middle order while Venakteh Iyer and Rinku Singh provide further depth in the middle order.

Varun Chakravarthy is the leading wicket-taker for KKR with 13 wickets and could win the purple cap on the day if takes two wickets while Rashid fails to take any. Spinner Suyash Sharma has done well as well while S Narine and KKR pacers have misfired.

GT: (Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan Rashid Khan) Shubman Gill is consistently scoring runs at the top of the order while Sai Sudharsan has been having a great season in the middle-order. In case, he doesn't play the match, GT have enough in-form players in Hardik Pandya, David Miller and Vijay Shankar. Abhinav Manohar joined the party too with a man-of-the-match performance in the last game.

Rashid Khan leads the bowlers with 14 wickets and also leads the Purple Cap race while Mohammad Shami is the face of the pacer with 10 wickets. Mohit Sharma has been the late arrival in the bowling unit with six wickets in the last three games. Spinner Noor Ahmad worried batters with his mystery bowling as well and took three wickets in the last game.

Pitch Report Batting friendly with help for the slow bowlers as the innings progress. Pacers are often effective early in the second innings with the breeze coming in from nearby river.
