Sunil Narine can be used in powerplay overs by KKR, and he can certainly face Ishan Kishan in that period. Ishan Kishan has just played 10 balls of Sunil Narine in IPL, where he has scored just 9 runs and Narine has been able to dismiss Ishan once in the process.
The sample size is quite less, but it is certain that Ishan has struggled to face Sunil Narine in the IPL, and he would want to improve upon that record of his.
Ishan Kishan has scored 270 runs this season, courtesy of a couple of half-centuries, but he has a dreadful strike-rate of 116.88. Sunil Narine has scalped just eight wickets, but he has an excellent economy of just 5.22 this season.
