KKR vs LSG Important player stats (Top Five)

KKR vs LSG Toss Factor

The wicket at Eden Gardens has seen one game so far in the tournament. It looked like a solid surface, and the batters enjoyed their time in the middle. The same could be expected from this game; hence, impactful big hitters will be great picks. 

Scenario: If Kolkata Knight Riders win the toss

• The Knight Riders have a pretty deep batting lineup, with most of their power in the lower part. Shreyas Iyer might back his batting lineup and opt to field first. As it is a day game, he will try to give his spinners the best conditions to exploit. 
• If KKR takes the field first, Sunil Narine's performance will be pivotal. He will have the advantage of the best bowling conditions and the opportunity to bat in even more favourable conditions, potentially unleashing his full fury on the LSG bowlers. 
• Along with Narine, Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana will be needed during KKR's bowling effort. Shreyas Iyer and Rinku Singh could be good picks for batters. 

Scenario: If Lucknow Super Giants win the toss

• The Super Giants are a very good defending side. It will be interesting to see if they take the approach of fielding first on a wicket that is quite different from the wicket at Ekana. 
• KL Rahul, Nicholas Pooran, and Marcus Stoinis will be the best picks from LSG batting. 
• In the case of the LSG bowling, Ravi Bishnoi and Naveen ul Haq will be the players to watch out for.

KKR vs LSG Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks

Scenario: If Kolkata Knight Riders win the match

Sunil Narine (KKR)

IPL 2024 has led to the rediscovery of Sunil Narine, the batter. He has been their powerplay enforcer and the prime reason for their early advantage in most games. Narine could be a significant pick for KKR, playing a pivotal role in both innings of the game. 

Andre Russell (KKR)

The West Indian powerhouse has played a great role for KKR in IPL 2024 with both the bat and the ball. He has been their lower-middle-order powerhouse in several games and has bowled in the death overs. Keeping Russell as the C or VC might be risky, but if he clicks, it will give you a massive advantage in the fantasy contests of the match. 

Scenario: If Lucknow Super Giants win the match

Nicholas Pooran (LSG)

The West Indian keeper-batter has been in great touch in the tournament. Though he failed to get off the mark in the previous game, Pooran has a good record at Eden Gardens, which makes him a prime choice as the C or VC of the game.

KL Rahul (LSG)

After a quiet start to the tournament, KL Rahul looked in good rhythm in the last match. He has excellent numbers at the Eden Gardens, making Rahul a prime choice as the C or VC.

Shreyas Iyer (KKR)

The KKR skipper has been going through a lean phase in the tournament. But the wicket at the Eden Gardens might act in his favour as a batter. Based on the current form, Shreyas Iyer might be a risky choice, but he could be highly beneficial in this game as a C or VC. 

Marcus Stoinis (LSG)

The Australian all-rounder is having a tough time in the series. Marcus Stoinis has played one good knock so far in the tournament and has struggled to find rhythm with the ball. However, if he regains his touch, Stoinis could be a game-changer for LSG and the users who keep him in their fantasy XI. 

KKR vs LSG Stay Aways

Mitchell Starc (KKR)

The Aussie speedster has struggled with his rhythm in IPL 2024. Mitchell Starc's current form indicates that he might be a too-risky choice as the C or VC for the game.

Krunal Pandya (LSG)

The Indian all-rounder was having a good time in the tournament, especially with the ball on the Ekana wicket. However, he was put off track in the previous game. Given the rhythm Krunal slumped to in the last game, he might not be as effective as the C or VC.
