Top Batsman Picks – KKR vs LSG Dream11
- Nicholas Pooran – Pooran is the leading run scorer for the LSG side with 178 runs in 4 matches at a strike rate of 169.52. In the last head to head against KKR in 2023, Pooran smashed a half century at a strike rate almost touching 200. He has been part of the dream team in all 4 matches so far.
- Shreyas Iyer – Shreyas Iyer has picked up on his form now as he looked little out of form in the starting of the season. In 4 matches, Shreyas has scored 91 runs at a strike rate of 131.88. He has been part of the dream team in the last 3 matches.
- Sunil Narine – Narine is pretty much enjoying himself at the top-order. He is the leading run scorer for KKR with 161 runs in 4 matches at an aggressive strike rate of 189.41.
Top Bowler Picks – KKR vs LSG Dream11
- Yash Thakur – Yash Thakur looks in confident form this season and he also performed well in the last game against KKR when he picked 2 wickets. This season he has taken 6 wickets in 3 matches. With Mayank Yadav’s injury news, more responsibility has fallen over Thakur’s shoulders.
- Andre Russell – In 4 matches, Russell has taken 5 wickets and scored 115 runs at a strike rate of more than 200. Seeing his current form we are expecting more damage from him in this match.
- Vaibhav Arora – Vaibhav has played 2 matches so far in which he has picked 5 wickets at a strike rate of just 9.6. He was part of the dream team in both the matches.
Top Picks for Captain and Vice Captain – KKR vs LSG Dream11
- Dream11 Captain Options – Andre Russell, Sunil Narine
- Dream11 Vice Captain Options – Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran
Players To Avoid – KKR vs LSG Dream11
- Anukul Roy – Roy has not taken any wicket so far in 2 matches. He does not look confident enough to pick a lot of wickets in a single match. He has scored 7 and 10 fantasy points in the 2 games so far.
- Ayush Badoni – Badoni has a batting average of 7.25 in 4 matches. He does not look in top form this season and we expecting the team to replace him in the playing 11 but they pick up again then you can avoid him in the fantasy teams.
