KKR vs GT Key Players

Mohit Sharma

Mohit Sharma has come back to the IPL strongly. He has been finding his special hard length at the death. His variations are working nicely as he returns to his peak days where he was once a key bowler in the death for the Punjab Kings, and a key bowler up front for the Chennai Super Kings.

Jason Roy

Jason Roy has been providing KKR with the intent they were looking for upfront. He is scoring really well, and has been pretty consistent, allowing the KKR line-up to look a lot more dangerous with some dangerous stroke makers behind him.

Match-ups to Watch out For

Nitish Rana vs Gujarat’s Pacers: Nitish Rana’s weakness towards the short-ball is very well known. With three pacers capable of cranking it up in Gujarat’s line-up, Rana will have his work cut out as KKR will want him in for a while to provide middle-order stability.
