KKR vs KXIP, IPL 2020 Live Score
Here is our predicted XI of KXIP vs KKR:
KL Rahul (c & wk): KL Rahul has been brilliant this season and will be happy with his team’s performance in the last four games.
Mayank Agarwal: Mayank Agarwal had to miss the last game due to injury, but can come back against KKR.
Chris Gayle: Chris Gayle has not been his prime, but his presence has given KXIP the much needed balance and energy.
Nicholas Pooran: Nicholas Pooran’s contribution of 32 made a difference against the SSR. He’s a match winner for KXIP.
Glenn Maxwell: Glenn Maxwell has been endorsed by KL Rahul thus far, and there is no reason for him to be eliminated against KKR.
Deepak Hooda: Deepak Hooda hasn’t been consistent, but he can certainly do the damage in death overs.
Murugan Ashwin: M Ashwin may contain runs in between and therefore could still be part of the KXIP team.
Chris Jordan: Chris Jordan was the winner of the KXIP match against SRH and needs to do more of the same as the tournament comes to the end of business.
Mohammed Shami: Mohammed Shami has been lethal with the new ball but needs to improve in the death overs.
Ravi Bishnoi: Ravi Bishnoi has been a great addition to the KXIP lineup as he always breaks partnerships. It is key in all games.
Arshdeep Singh: Arshdeep Singh has shown in the last two games why he should have been chosen in the first games for KXIP.
KXIP predicted XI vs KKR: KL Rahul (c & wk), Mandeep Singh, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Deepak Hooda, Murugan Ashwin, Chris Jordan, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh
