KKR vs SRH: Here's your guide to pick Dream XI
What's the story
Kolkata Knight Riders will be in for a stiff test against table toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad in match number 10 of the Indian Premier League 2018. SRH will be aiming to get their first ever win at Eden Gardens. Going by head-to-head stats, KKR are ahead. If you are confused about what would be the best XI, here we help you select the right combination.
Skipper
In-form Dhawan can be selected as the captain
Shikhar Dhawan has carried his national team form into the IPL and he is the current Orange Cap holder. Once again, he will be instrumental in giving SRH the desired start. So we feel he could be the best choice as the skipper. Along with him, KKR duo Robin Uthappa and Dinesh Karthik can be selected. The latter is our choice as the wicket-keeper.
The powerhouses
Shakib, Russell and Narine star all-rounders
Nitish Rana can come in at number four and gives solidity to the middle-order. Bangladeshi Shakib Al Hasan gives the balance in the line-up with his all-round skills. Following him are West Indian powerhouses Sunil Narine and Andre Russell. Russell can light up Kolkata. Narine can be the vice-captain of the team given his blitz with the bat and superb economy rate while bowling.
Spin delights
Rashid, Kuldeep lead bowling attack
Rashid Khan has delivered power-packed performances till now. 18 dot balls in the previous match says it all. Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav will be raring to go at home and is a wicket-taking bowler. In the pace attack, Siddarth Kaul and Sandeep Sharma can be picked after having given a good account of themselves. You can avoid Bhuvneshwar, since his participation is not confirmed.
