Today's KKR vs SRH Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper
Wriddhiman Saha: Wriddhiman Saha has shown glimpses of what he is capable of doing by scoring some quick runs in recent games. In addition to his form, Saha is slated to bat at the top of the order, something his counterpart Dinesh Karthik will not be doing, thus making the Bengal player a handy pick for your KKR vs SRH Dream11 fantasy team.
Batsman
Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill has had a subpar IPL season so far, with the youngster not able to get going in the powerplay overs. However, Gill is a technically sound batter who can flip the script in a matter of a few deliveries, making him one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Sunil Narine: Sunil Narine's all-round ability hasn't fully come to the fore, but his off-spin has posed a few threats to the opposition. Given the experience he can bank on, Narine should pick up a wicket or two and deliver handy fantasy points in this game.
Bowler
Rashid Khan: Rashid Khan is arguably one of the finest bowlers in the world, with the leggie known for his wicket-taking ability in the middle overs. On a track that should favor the spinners, Rashid should be a must-have in your KKR vs SRH Dream11 fantasy team.
