Pat Cummins is yet to arrive for Kolkata Knight Riders. They would look to ask Sam Billings to keep wickets and play Andre Russell as a pure batter and bring in Shivam Mavi in place of Jackson to make it a wholesome playing 11.

 

KKR Predicted Playing 11

 

Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer(c), Sam Billings, Sheldon Jackson(w), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy

Another problem that the KKR management seems to be facing is the predicament of whether to carry on with the brilliant wicket-keeping, but not so good batting skills of Sheldon Jackson, or play an extra bowler Shivam Mavi and let Russell play as a batter who can give 1-2 overs. 

 

It would be better if they went with five proper bowlers apart from Russell and played Sam Billings as the wicket-keeper batter and get Jackson out. Or they could give him one more chance in this match as he has failed as a batter just once. It would be intriguing to see what Playing 11 does Shreyas Iyer comes up with

IPL 2022 LIVE Score | KKR vs PBKS-Strategy for KKR

 

The Shreyas Iyer-led side needs to really work hard on its batting which failed miserably against RCB. Venkatesh Iyer looks in jeopardy against a perfectly aimed shot ball as he was rattled by even the pace of Akash Deep. Nitish Rana, another star of the KKR unit has not been able to get going either and that calls for problems too. 

 

Hoping that they would have had enough to restrategize things, Nitish Rana must bat cautiously and should be told to bat throughout the innings. Because even if Ajinkya Rahane bats for a longer time, he would not be able to make runs quickly and hence he should be told to play feely and the likes of Rana and Iyer himself, alongside Andre Russell should try and bat out maximum overs.
