Team News:-
KKR:-
- Their super stars Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine and Andre Russel are confirmed to play the season opener with no injury concerns.
- Sunil Narine’s batting position hasn’t been revealed as of yet so assume he would bat down the order as per now.
- As per the opening combination it would most likely be Uthappa and Lynn with Shubhmann Gill at number 3.
- Skipper Dinesh Karthik has stated that he would bat as per the team requirements so don’t expect him to bat at number 4 unless they lose quick wickets.
- Tom Curran/Mitchell Johnson seem to be the 4th overseas player.
RCB –
- It has been confirmed that VK won’t be opening the innings at least for the first game.
- QDK has arrived but wasn’t seen practicing so BAZ and Parthiv Patel would be my opening combination.

- Pawan Negi and Yuzi Chahal are the 2 spinners in the ranks along with Washington Sundar.
Pitch Report:-
