The KKR team management might be tempted to bring in English opener Jason Roy in the fold but that means that the men in purple and gold will have to make a decision between Gurbaz and Roy. In another alternative, both Roy and Gurbaz can open the innings for KKR with Lockie Ferguson sitting out. However, it seems like that the Nitish Rana-led side will tinker with the winning combination. Apart from these two, Bangladeshi opener Litton Das can also be an option to keep in mid for KKR.
