Pitch Report
Virat RCB | bat
Virat Kohli is the leading run-getter in this history of IPL with more than 8000 runs. He will be a good captaincy pick for this match.
Sunil Narine is the MVP in a fantasy side. He will open the batting and is a quality off-sppiner. Back him to get points from both departments.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi- KKR | BAT- 8
