Here are three all-rounders who could make a significant impact in the game and help you earn those valuable fantasy points.
1. Andre Russell
Andre Russell, known for his explosive batting, has not been in top form for Kolkata Knight Riders in the TATA IPL 2023, scoring just 36 runs in three matches. Although he is not bowling this season, his batting prowess makes him a valuable asset for any team. Russell has a phenomenal strike rate of over 170 in the IPL and has a good record at Eden Gardens, the venue for the upcoming KKR vs SRH match. With his ability to score quick runs in the middle order, Russell can be a captaincy contender for your Dream11 prediction team. If he finds his form, he could be the game-changer that Kolkata needs to secure a victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
2. Sunil Narine
Sunil Narine, the star bowler for Kolkata Knight Riders, has taken six wickets in three matches this season with an average of 14.83, an economy rate of 7.41, and a strike rate of 12. Since joining KKR in 2012, Narine has been a consistent performer and the face of the franchise’s bowling attack. Despite being with the team for 11 years, he still leads the team’s bowling department. Narine’s ability to take wickets and restrict the opposition from scoring quick runs in the middle overs makes him a valuable asset for KKR. Although he took only nine wickets in the last season, his economy rate of 5.47 was impressive. In his IPL career for KKR, Narine has taken 152 wickets in 148 matches.
3. Aiden Markram
In the last match against the Punjab Kings, Aiden Markram played a crucial knock of 37 runs off 21 balls. His IPL record is impressive with 564 runs in 20 matches and a strike rate of 135.90. Besides his batting skills, Markram’s off-spin ability makes him an all-round package. He is an essential player to have in your Dream11 prediction team for the upcoming KKR vs SRH match. Markram’s contribution with both bat and ball could make a significant impact on the game. His recent form indicates that he is a player to watch out for, and could be the X-factor that could swing the game in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s favor.
