Preview :

Lucknow Super Giants will be squaring off against Kolkata Knight Riders for the first time in the fifty-third match of this season of the Tata IPL.
Lucknow Super Giants is currently placed at the second position on the points table of this season of the Tata IPL whereas Kolkata Knight Riders are currently placed at the eighth spot on the points table.

KKR Coming off a win in their last match, Kolkata Knight Riders will be disappointed to be in the position they are in at the moment. At one point in the competition, they were reigning supreme in the top-half of the points table and look well set to progress to the playoffs. However, a losing streak of five matches saw them drop down to the eight spot, which is where they are currently placed.
From a total of 10 matches played, the Knight Riders have won four and lost six. They would now need to win all of their remaining four matches to stand a chance to get to the next round. Alongside that, they would also have to work on their net run rate, which currently stands at 0.060.
On paper, Kolkata Knight Riders have a decent side but the problem at the top of the order has hurt them big time. They have tried the most number of opening pairs and are still searching for a sustainable one. On the bowling front, however, they are looking more or less settled and that was also the reason for their much-needed win in the last match.

LKN not many would have imagined the two new teams to be flying high in the points table before the ongoing edition of IPL commenced. Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans have both been brilliant so far and while the Titans have almost cemented their place in the playoffs, the Super Giants are not too far off. Another win here will push them to a safe spot and that is exactly what they will be striving for here in this upcoming match.
From a total of 10 matches played, Lucknow Super Giants have won 7, totalling to 14 points. They have an excellent net run-rate of 0.397, which is second-best among all sides in the competition. Even though it is unlikely to matter in the quest to qualify for the playoffs, it might well be the deciding factor in determining the top two and Lucknow Super Giants will be wary of that.

Team Guide

Wicket keepers :

KL Rahul :

KL Rahul is in exceptional form at the moment. He is the second highest run-scorer of the tournament.

He has smashed 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries in the tournament already and will be eager to keep the run going. Rahul will be the default captaincy choice in this match.

Quinton de Kock :

Quinton de Kock is a quality top order Batter who can able to play according to match situations. He's more effective in Powerplay overs & should get some quick runs early on. He has scored 294 runs in 10 matches at an average of 29.40 and a strike rate of 134.24 including 2 half-centuries. He would be expected to provide a decent start to the team along with skipper KL Rahul. Another solid option in wk section.

Sam Billings:

Sam Billings will open the innings and can fetch a lot of points for your fantasy team. He is a good player and can score big especially in the first six overs. He has played 6 matches this season, scoring 99 runs in six matches with an average of 20. He is the best differential punt pick for this match. Didn't play last game.

Baba Indrajith :

Baba Indrajith is a very good young talented wicketkeeper batsman. He scored 15 runs in the last match, has played two in this season in which 21 runs have been scored. Can kkr give them a chance to open instead of Finch? If he comes to open, then useful in that condition.

Shreyas Iyer has been very consistent in this edition and will look to lead from the front. He will be a top captaincy option.

Deepak Hooda :

Deepak Hooda seems to be in good touch with the bat. He has floated around the batting order but He got an opportunity to bat at number 3 and capitalizing on that opportunity with both hands, he played a brilliant innings of 52 runs in 34 balls in last match. He has scored 279 runs while striking at 131.60 this season. Hooda is likely to solve the middle-order crisis for LSG added 95 runs for the second wicket along with Lokesh Rahul.
