Top 2 Wicket-Keeper picks
1) WP Saha- The right-handed batsman has impressed not just with his wicket keeping abilities but also with his willow. Saha has established himself as the perfect keeper due to his quick reflexes and acrobatic wicket-keeping ability. He made 44 runs in his last match.
Matches – 201
Runs – 3565
Average – 25.28
2) Dinesh Karthik – The right-handed batsman has a penchant for sweep, reverse sweep that has helped his cause against spinners. He gave a decent performance in the first half of the IPL 2021 and is looking for more in the second half.
Matches – 322
Runs – 6232
Average – 27.33
Top 4 Batsman Picks
1) Eoin Morgan – He’s developed a reputation as a creative and free-striking middle-order batsman, particularly in shorter formats. A dangerous middle order batsman on his day and a more than astute player, Eoin is a vital cog in KKR’s cricket fortunes.
Matches – 342
Runs – 7354
Average – 27.54
2) Jason Roy – In first-class cricket, Roy has performed admirably, but limited overs cricket, which allows him to express himself freely, is his greatest suit. Roy can hit the ball a long way with minimal foot movement, especially with his dazzling cross-bat swing, which he makes look so easy.
Matches – 254
Runs – 6631
Average – 28.21 3) KS Williamson – With his excellent batting skills mixing perfectly with his footwork and gritty disposition, Williamson’s batting is a purist’s delight. He is an experienced player and a sheet anchor for his team.
Matches – 210
Runs – 5372
Average – 31.78
4) Shubhman Gill – The right-handed batsman was drafted into the team due to his attacking techniques and his appetite for big runs. He is a wise pick for the next match.
Matches – 63
Runs – 1456
Average – 30.33
Top 4 Bowler Picks
1) Rashid Khan – Rashid is a legbreak googly bowler with a skill set that suits him well in limited-overs cricket. He is not a great turner of the ball, but by bowling fast in the air, he puts batsmen under constant pressure. His main weapon is a very precise googly. He took a wicket in his last match.
Matches – 281
Wickets – 388
Economy – 6.33
2) Varun Chakravarthy – He has significantly rebuilt his action and added additional elements to his bowling. He has proved to be an asset to his team so far. He took two wickets in his last match.
Matches – 29
Wickets – 33
Economy – 6.77
3) TG Southee – He’s amassed a large array of delivery styles throughout the years. He’s not only a great new-ball bowler, but he’s also a great old-ball bowler, thanks to pace variations and reverse swing.
Matches – 203
Wickets – 225
Economy – 8.31
4) Bhuvneshwar Kumar – The lanky swing bowler continued to experiment with his game and was one of the first players in the IPL to make extensive use of the knuckle ball and its numerous varieties.
Matches – 197
Wickets – 203
Economy – 7.17
Top 2 All-rounder Picks
1) Jason Holder – Holder, a Barbados-born right-arm medium-fast bowler, has matured as an all-rounder and player on the move, displaying an ever-improving temperament and growth in technical and tactical understanding. He’s also a capable batter in the bottom of the order. He took three wickets in his last match.
Matches – 151
Runs – 1342
Average – 15.78
Wickets – 130
Economy – 7.71
2) Sunil Narine – The left-handed batsman and right arm off break bowler is a valuable allrounder for KKR and a precise, experienced player in this format. He played excellent innings in the first half of the IPL and is still expected to retain the form in the second half too.
Matches – 378
Runs – 2739
Average – 15.04
Wickets – 419
Economy – 6.05
