IPL 2018: KKR vs SRH, Knight Riders probable playing XI against Sunrisers Hyderabad

Lower Middle-order

No ground is big enough for Andre Russell

Shubman Gill will most-likely replace Rinku Singh. Singh failed in his first two games for the Knight Riders.

Gill was a part of the Indian team that lifted the under-19 World Cup. The 18-year-old batsman from Punjab was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 1.8 crore.

Andre Russell is back. Though he was subdued in his first game of the season, he was devastating in his second.

He scored an unbeaten 88 off 36 balls against the Chennai Super Kings at the Chepauk, comprised of 11 sixes and a four. He is a permanent fixture in the KKR eleven.

Though Piyush Chawla went for runs in the game against CSK, expect him to retain his place in the team.

Eden Gardens pitch is known for assisting spinners and expects nothing different on Saturday. Chawla's leg-spin will give a lot of bowling options for Dinesh Karthik and his experience could prove vital.
