Avesh Khan missed the last match due to a hamstring injury and Krishnappa Gowtham came back as a replacement. While Mohsin Khan did a tremendous job, LSG did miss Avesh Khan at the death.

However, as per information available with InsideSport, a final call on Avesh Khan’s inclusion will only be taken after assessing his condition before the match. With Avesh being medically cleared for the game, he joins the starting XI.

LSG Playing XI vs KKR: Why Avesh Khan is crucial for KKR clash?

Avesh Khan can use great variation while also going full throttle at 145KPH.
At MCA Stadium Pune, the pitch will be on the slower side and LSG can use Avesh Khan’s slower deliveries at the death against big-hitting batters like Andre Russell.
As per information available, Avesh Khan’s hamstring injury isn’t serious and he could be available for Saturday’s match.
If he is not available, LSG will have to depend on K Gowtham to deliver the job in the middle overs.
Marcus Stoinis will play a crucial role in the middle-overs as well.

As for other positions, LSG’s long-standing issue of No 3 has been solved with Deepak Hooda smashing a half-century. He is expected to continue at No 3 while Ayush Badoni or Marcus Stoinis could come in at No 4 depending on the match situation.

In the bowling department, Mohsin Khan will continue along with Dushmantha Chameera while Jason Holder and Marcus Stoinis will play third and fourth seamer’s role. If Avesh Khan is available, he will take the new ball alongside Chameera. Ravi Bishnoi and Krunal Pandya will be the two spinners LSG will rely on.
