The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be locking horns with their one of the strongest team of this season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The irony is that both the teams have won their respective season openers that too with a bang. While KKR defeated another good team Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at home in a humdinger and Kings defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Jaipur, the game in which it was more like Rajasthan lost more than the other way around.

KL Rahul

Despite the fact that KL Rahul got dismissed in the first over itself against Rajasthan, it’s difficult to write him off when it comes to fantasy cricket as he is a proven match-winner in IPL. However, the option for the wicket-keeping job is none other than, Dinesh Karthik, who can be termed as one of the best finishers around the world in the shortest format. Apart from him, Nicholas Pooran can also be termed as a decent option as he played a cameo In Jaipur as well. 

Batsmen

In terms of the last games of both the teams, Chris Gayle, Robin Uthappa, Nitish Rana, and Shubhman Gill are the obvious choices,but one has to consider the fact that Delhi pitch will be more suitable for batsmen so picking an extra batsman like Mayank Agarwal, who also did a decent job against Rajasthan will be helpful. The other suitable options for the batting line-up are players like Sarfaraz Khan and Chris Lynn.

All-rounders

After the last game, in which Andre Russell single-handedly took KKR over the line, he is the obvious choice for the Fantasy XI along with the KXIP skipper R Ashwin, who bowling will be crucial at the Eden Gardens. Considering the conditions in Delhi, there is not much room for the all-rounders in the Fantasy cricket. So, Sunil Narine and Sam Curran can be a good option as the latter took crucial wickets against Rajasthan as well.

Bowlers

In the last game, KXIP defeated RR with their bowling in the death overs, but with the last game in Kolkata supporting the batsmen, picking the bowlers will be a tricky job. According to the performances in the last game, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Ankit Rajpoot, Lockie Ferguson and apart from them the other options can be, Kuldeep Yadav, Piyush Chawla, and Mohammed Shami.
