KKR vs DC Dream11 Prediction: Batters and Wicket-Keepers
Shikhar Dhawan
He is the leading run getter with 430 runs and is giving points regularly.
In fact, in 8 out of his 10 matches this season he has scored at least 40 fantasy points which proves his consistency.
He also has produced great batting numbers against Kolkata in recent times having scored 175 runs in his last 4 innings against them.
Shreyas Iyer
He missed the 1st half of this season because of injury but that has certainly not affected his form as in the 2 matches so far he has scores of 43 & 47* and looks in great touch.
Talking about his record against Kolkata, he has a batting average of 43 against them and a SR of 157 (425 runs in 12 matches) which is just stagerring.
Rahul Tripathi
Tripathi has scores of 45, 74*, 19, 41 & 36 in his last 5 batting innings this season.
He is now the leading run getter for Kolkata this season with 306 runs.
Among the top 10 run getters this season, only Prithvi Shaw (SR of 160) has scored runs at a better pace than Rahul Tripathi (SR of 144) and thus there is a benefit of getting bonus points in the form of boundaries.
KKR vs DC Dream11 Prediction: Bowlers
Anrich Nortje
With back to back 2-fers (2/18 & 2/12), Nortje is certainly a bowler to watch out for in this fixture.
He also has a great record against Kolkata in the Indian T20 league having produced bowling figures of 2/27 & 3/33 in his 2 matches against them.
Kagiso Rabada
In the last 2 matches, Rabada has taken 4 wickets.
With the 2nd half now being hosted in the U.A.E., Rabada must be feeling much more confident as he was the leading wicket taker here in the last season having taken 30 wickets in just 17 matches.
Varun Chakravarthy
Not only is Varun chipping with wickets on regular intervals, but also bowling with a cheap economy and thus fantasy points for economy are also a bonus for him.
With 6 wickets in 3 matches against Delhi, Varun has a great record against them in the Indian T20 league.
As context, among all spinners only Rashid Khan (32) and Yuzvendra Chahal (30) have more wickets since 2020 in the Indian T20 league than Varun Chakravarthy (28).
KKR vs DC Dream11 Prediction: All-Rounders
Venkatesh Iyer
With scores of 18, 53 & 41* Venkatesh Iyer looks promising.
In the first 2 matches he did not get to bowl but he did in the last match and thus, there is a scope of getting extra points apart from batting runs as he does chip in with a wicket or two in odd matches.
Andre Russell
He has a stellar record against Delhi in the Indian T20 league having scored 272 runs (at a SR of 190) and 13 wickets in 10 matches which accounts to 60+ fantasy points per match.
This season, he is yet to fire with the bat but with the ball he has been impressive having taken 11 wickets.
Having said that, this match is at Sharjah where Russell can clear the boundaries with ease.
Axar Patel
Axar Patel has taken at least a wicket in each of his 6 matches this season (total 9 wickets taken) and thus has given guaranteed fantasy points.
He is yet to score runs with the bat but that is because he does not get enough deliveries to face, having said that he is a pinch hitter and if opportunity does come he can be more than handy with the bat and his quickfire cameos can fetch extra points.
KKR vs DC Dream11 Prediction: Top Players of the Last Match
The Top Point Getters for Kolkata Knight Riders are Sunil Narine with 97 match fantasy points. Rahul Tripathi with 71 match fantasy points and Andre Russell with 55 match fantasy points.
