Hot Picks for RR vs KKR Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:

Captaincy Picks:

  • Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson is once again set to play the game only as a batsman. The onus will be on him to give his team a good start with the bat. In the previous game against SRH, he scored 66 runs off 37 balls.
  • Sunil Narine: Sunil Narine will be keen to make an impact with both bat and ball. In the last game, he scored 44 runs in addition to taking 1 wicket for 27 runs off his 4 overs.

Top Picks:

  • Yashasvi Jaiswal: Yashasvi Jaiswal failed to impress with the bat in the previous game against SRH, scoring only 1. He has played some memorable knocks against KKR in the past and will be eyeing another one.
  • Ajinkya Rahane: The KKR captain was the best batsman of his team in the last match, scoring 56 runs off just 31 balls. He will look to lead the team from the front once again.

Budget Picks:

  • Shimron Hetmyer: The onus to finish the games this season for RR is on Shimron Hetmyer. In the previous game against SRH, the West Indies star 42 off just 23 balls.
  • Quinton de Kock: One of the best white-ball openers in the world, de Kock could not deliver with the bat on his KKR debut. He was out for just 4 in the last game against RCB and will be looking to make amends.
