KL Rahul batted well in the Super Over against New Zealand.

While KXIP hasn't played a Super Over recently, they seem to have a great batting line-up to send out. They seem short on good bowling options, though.

Batsmen: KL Rahul and Chris Gayle (Openers), Glenn Maxwell or Jimmy Neesham (No.3)

Their likely opening pair, consisting of KL Rahul and Chris Gayle, should open the batting for them in the Super Over as well. While Gayle can tonk the ball away at will, Rahul has done well for the national side, whenever he has batted in the Super Over. Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell and Jimmy Neesham are the options to consider at No.3, and it's more likely to be one of the latter two than Pooran.

Bowler(s): Mohammed Shami

KXIP doesn't have the same variety with the ball as they have with the bat. Mohammed Shami is the side's main death bowler and should be the one bowling in a Super Over. Mujeeb offers an alternative but it remains to be seen how much game-time he gets.


#4 Kolkata Knight Riders

Andre Russell is undoubtedly KKR's first-choice batsman in a Super Over.

KKR has plenty of powerful batsmen and good bowlers in their side and will have an advantage during a Super Over.

Batsmen: Andre Russell and Eoin Morgan (Openers), Dinesh Karthik (No.3)

Andre Russell is undoubtedly the option to open the batting in a Super Over and is likely to be partnered by new arrival Eoin Morgan. Skipper Dinesh Karthik is an ideal option to slot in at No.3. Morgan and Karthik can switch places as well.

Bowler(s): Pat Cummins or Sunil Narine

KKR is one of those sides which have spinners who can bowl at all stages of the game. While Pat Cummins will be the first name that comes to mind to bowl a Super Over, Sunil Narine is another option to consider. The mystery spinner isn't picking up as many wickets as he used to but is still very economical and can handle the pressure.
