Match 46 of the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) sees the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP).
KKR and KXIP are locked in an intense battle for last place in the 2020 IPL playoffs, and at the moment Eoin Morgan’s men have a 2-point lead. Even though they sit comfortably in fourth place, a loss to KXIP would spell doom for KKR as KL Rahul’s side has a better net execution rate.
KKR is behind a resounding victory over the capitals of Delhi. Nitish Rana made a return to form, while Sunil Narine scored a 50 in attack on his return to the XI game. The star of the show with the ball was Varun Chakravarthy, who recorded the first 5-wicket round of IPL 2020.
KXIP is on a 4-game winning streak, with the most recent win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 12 runs. A poor hitting performance saw KXIP restricted to just 126, but the bowlers did a commendable job of turning things back after David Warner got SRH off to a great start.
Here are 3 players who could be the captain or vice-captain of your Dream11 team for the KKR vs KXIP IPL 2020 game.
