PBKS vs KKR Dream11: Focus on Nitish Rana the leader as KKR try to fix batting combinations sans Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer’s untimely shoulder injury has put KKR in a fix as they try to fix the batting order. Rana’s surprise elevation to captaincy indicates that the team is banking on the southpaw to come good. The Delhi batter has had a few promising seasons of IPL but lacked consistency. Wit Iyer likely to miss half of IPL, Rana has to come good. Another worry for KKR is the lack of quality death over bowlers. Baring Lockie Ferguson no one can be trusted to bowl at the death.
PBKS have the issue of playing foreign players upfront as a majority are away for national duties. Livingstone will first match due to NOC clearance, while Rabada is away for national duties. A lot will depend on skipper Dhawan to provide a fiery start upfront.
