Here are three player battles to watch out for during KKR vs GT match:

1) Rinku Singh vs Mohit Sharma

KKR’s Rinku Singh has shown his finishing skills time and again, and he was instrumental in their previous win against GT. Singh will once again aim to play a match-winning knock against them. However, GT will rely on the experience of Mohit Sharma to restrict Singh’s assault. The battle between these two at the end overs could prove to be the decider of the match.

2) Nitish Rana vs Rashid Khan

In the last game against RCB, KKR’s skipper Nitish Rana played a solid innings, especially against spinners. He will be eyeing a similar approach against GT’s main spinner Rashid Khan in the middle overs. Khan, who has taken a hattrick this season, was a nightmare for KKR in their last meeting. He will look to continue his dominance against them. The contest between KKR’s best batter of spin and the master himself could heavily impact the outcome.

3) Shubman Gill vs Varun Chakravarthy

Former KKR player Shubman Gill will be keen to prove a point against his old team. Gill has shown glimpses of his ability to bat at top gear and will be looking to elevate his performance further. Gill will be facing KKR’s relatively weaker bowling department, but he will have to be on top of his game to tackle the mystery spin of Varun Chakravarthy. The latter has already proven to be a nightmare for many prominent batters this season, setting up an intriguing battle.
