Andre Russell has been a dangerous batter in the middle overs for KKR this year. The middle-over batter has played crucial role on accelerating the innings in death overs and take KKR to a big total. He could be a KKR’s main batter against GT and the hosts will be looking at Rashid Khan to get rid of him early. However, Russell has been having great records against the spinners while Rashid has been one of GT’s best spinners
2. Phil Salt vs Umesh Yadav
Phil Salt has been impressive as an opener for KKR this year. The right-hander has amassed 435 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 182.01. With Sunil Narine from the other end, Salt can turn out to be a dangerous batter in the powerplay. To get rid of Salt early, KKR will look up to their fast bowler Umesh Yadav with new ball in the powerplay. The right-arm pacer will be looking to restrict Salt to score runs and dismiss him in the powerplay.

Sai Sudharsan has been GT’s only consistent run scorer this year and is coming after smashing his maiden hundred in the last match against Chennai Super Kings. Now, he will be looking to get another big knock against KKR. However, KKR spinner Varun Chakravarthy can trouble him in the middle over and get rid of him early.
