In front of the Hyderabad team, Kolkata will try to rectify the mistakes made in the previous match. Aaron Finch may make a comeback in this match which means Ajinkya Rahane may have to sit out. Runs have not come off his bat after the first match. Venkatesh Iyer's bat has consistently scored runs and with the arrival of Finch, KKR's opening pair looks stronger than ever. Apart from the captain and Nitish, none of the batsmen could walk in the last match. So in this match, Kolkata will try to bring depth in their batting. Rinku Singh may be included in the last eleven in place of Rasik Salam.
Kolkata's opening pair - In this match, this pair can change and for the first time, Eran Finch can open the innings with Venkatesh. Finch has returned from the Pakistan tour and there he batted well. He will be expected to continue the same performance here as well so that the team can get a good start.
Kolkata's middle order - In the last match, captain Shreyas Iyer's run off the bat is a good sign for the team. His allies Nitish Rana, Sheldon Jackson, Andre Russell, and Rinku Singh will have a big responsibility on their shoulders. Rinku is known for hitting big hits. Cummins' innings against Mumbai have raised hopes for him too. Cummins played brilliant innings of 56 runs in 15 balls against Mumbai.
Kolkata's bowling- Pat Cummins and Umesh Yadav have the two best fast bowlers on the team. In the form of spin, the team has two mystery bowlers in Sunil Narine and Varun Chakraborty who can turn the mat into an over.
Probable playing XI of Kolkata-
Venkatesh Iyer, Eran Finch, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Rinku Singh, Pat Cummins, Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakraborty.
