Let us take you all to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-

Wicket-Keepers

Going by the current form, Quinton de Kock seems to be a better pick and he will be having home advantage as well.  However, for KKR, Dinesh Karthik has been really well, but only from last 2-3 game and hence, in order to maintain the balance of the fantasy XI, De Kock seems better pick.

Batsmen

Going by the current batting form of both the teams, Surya Kumar, Evin Lewis, Chris Lynn, and Shubman Gill are one of the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Apart from them, there are some useful batsmen in the line-ups as well, like Rohit Sharma, Nitish Rana, and Robin Uthappa.

All-rounders

There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but going by the current form, Hardik Pandya, Andre Russell, and Sunil Narine seems to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, the good all-rounder for IPL fantasy cricket is Krunal Pandya.
