#2 Rashid Khan vs Shubman Gill

Rashid has been one of the most consistent performers for SRH in recent time as he has scalped 75 wickets from 62 IPL matches. IN IPL, he took 20 wickets from 16 matches at an economy rate of 6.24 as they had reached the playoffs.  Shubman Gill was KKR’s best batsman in IPL 2020 by a country mile, as he had massed 440 runs in 14 matches. The onus of providing KKR with solid starts will once again be on him in this edition as well. His strike rate raised quite a few eyebrows and the fans would hope he bats with the same attacking flair he showed against Australia in Brisbane. 

#1 Bhuvneshwar Kumar vs Andre Russell

Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s last IPL season was cut short due to injury but he made a phenomenal comeback from injury. He bowled some brilliant spells with the new ball and at the death in India’s recently-concluded limited-overs series against England. He managed to scalp six wickets during the three ODIs and four wickets during the T20I series against England.

After the highs of the past few years, Andre Russell fared way below expectations, with both bat and ball. However, no team can take him lightly as they are well aware of his destructive batting skill. On his day, he can destroy oppositions in a matter of overs like he did in 2019 and KKR would be hoping that he repeats the magic of 2019 where he scored 510 runs at a mind-blowing strike rate of 204.81 and also picked up 11 wickets.
