KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction Today Match: Captain choices:
- Shreyas Iyer: Shreyas Iyer has been getting the starts in recent games but is yet to score big. In the last three games, he has registered scores of 39*, 18 and 34. With form on his side, he will be looking to score big in the upcoming game and lead his team from the front.
- Mitchell Starc: While Mitchell Starc has not really managed to justify his huge price tag so far, there is absolutely no denying that he can blow away any team on his day. In four games so far, he has picked up two wickets and will be eyeing a good outing against LSG.
Top Picks for KKR vs LSG Fantasy Cricket Tips:
- KL Rahul: The LSG captain has looked in good touch as well. After scoring 58 runs in the first game of the season, he has scored 39, 33 and 20 in the previous three games. The right-handed batsman will be eyeing a good knock against KKR.
- Phil Salt: While Phil Salt was out for a duck in the last game against CSK, he looked in fine form before that. The right-handed batsman gave KKR good starts in all the first three games and will be looking to bounce back.
Budget Picks for KKR vs LSG Fantasy Cricket Tips:
- Ravi Bishnoi: Ravi Bishnoi has picked up four wickets in five games this season including two in the last game. The leg-spinner is in contention for a place in India’s T20 World Cup squad and will be eyeing a good outing against KKR.
- Varun Chakravarthy: After picking up three wickets against Delhi Capitals, Varun Chakravarthy went wicketless in the last game against CSK. The KKR star would be looking to bounce back on familiar territories when he faces LSG in Kolkata.
