Pitch Report
The Brabourne Stadium has seen its fair share of high-scoring encounters with another one likely to unfold between RR and KKR today. The pacers might not get much swing early on, enticing the batters to go hard from ball one. While the fast-bowlers will ideally revert to off-pace deliveries as the match progresses, the spinners should also get some turn off the surface. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with dew bound to play a role in the second innings.
Today’s RR vs KKR Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson hasn't been in the best of form since his fifty against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the opening week of IPL 2022. The RR captain is a good player of pace, with his range against spin also being noteworthy. With Samson being due for a big one, he is a must-have in your RR vs KKR Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Shreyas Iyer: Although Shreyas Iyer has found some form in recent games, his struggles against the short ball have derailed him on a few occasions. Iyer is perhaps KKR's best bet with the bat and given his ability to anchor the innings, he is one to watch out for in the game.
All-rounder
Andre Russell: Andre Russell is one of the most destructive batters in the world with his six-hitting ability being second to none. He comes into the game on the back of a good outing with the bat against SRH and has shown glimpses of brilliance on the bowling font as well. With his all-round skill bound to come into play, he is a good addition to your RR vs KKR Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Yuzvendra Chahal: Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the highest wicket-takers in IPL 2022 with 12 scalps to his name. The leg-spinner has often delivered in the middle overs with his guile and accuracy. Owing to his recent form and knack for picking up wickets, Chahal can be backed to put in a good performance today.
