Players to watch out for in GT vs KKR
Rinku Singh
The KKR vice-captain has had a season to forget so far, having scored just 78 runs from four innings. With KKR down in the doldrums, they desperately need Rinku to fire and help them finish their innings with humongous scores. The southpaw will be determined to up his game in the upcoming fixture and guide his team to their first victory.
Rashid Khan
The wrist spinner is gradually getting into the groove this season, having scalped five wickets from four innings. Rashid will look to bowl another match-winning spell against KKR in the upcoming game to help his team register a hat-trick of wins.
