KXIP vs KKR Dream 11 team Prediction: IPL Dream 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips for KXIP vs KKR as TSR helps you form the best possible Dream 11 team

KXIP and KKR take on each other on Friday in what will be a massive fixture for both teams, considering the mid table rut that they find themselves in.

A loss for either of the teams could mean curtains for their IPL playoff hopes, as both franchises are on 10 points each and need 14 to be a little assured about playing in the playoffs.

With SRH losing out to MI at the Wankhede, things are going to get a little spicier between KXIP, KKR, SRH and RR for that final playoff spot.

SRH have the best possible chance, but remember, they are without Warner for their last game too and it would be tough for them to get over the line without him, especially after how he has contributed to their cause this season.

Let’s get straight to business now.

KXIP vs KKR Dream11 team

Wicketkeeper for KXIP vs KKR Dream 11

It is going to be a straight shootout between Nicholas Pooran and Dinesh Karthik for the wicketkeeper slot for this game in my Dream 11 team for KXIP vs KKR. While DK has batted brilliantly in the middle order in the last few games, the fact that I need to save up on some money in order to bring in the likes of Rahul, Gayle, Russell etc.

Thus, I am forced to go in with a budget pick here and hence would opt for the fiery Pooran, who has flattered to take the game away from the bowling unit.

Bowlers for KXIP vs KKR Dream 11

I am once again going to save up on my bowlers and get in only bowlers worth less than 8.5 cr. Thanks to the dismal bowling unit of both teams, even the most expensive bowlers for this game are worth just 8.5 cr.

Shami becomes an automatic buy, as he has revolutionised his personal white ball bowling in the last few months. In the powerplay and at the death, there is just no beating Shami this season.

Mujeeb has been pretty handy in the middle overs, using his trickery to good effect. Also, KKR having 5 right handers in top 7, Mujeeb could come in really handy. For the final bowling pick, I get in any one of those Indian quicks that KKR play, If more than one play, Prasidh Krishan gets the nod because of his experience.

All-Rounders for KXIP vs KKR Dream 11

Andre Russell absolutely walks into my team and makes it his own. The kind of destructive form he has been in this season, bringing KKR single handedly to this position, it would be foolish to leave him out.

Ravi Ashwin has had a revolutionary season in the IPL, picking up wickets to go with his handy economy rate. Earlier the focus used to be on stopping the runs, whereas this year he has not only stemmed the flow of runs, but also taken wickets at regular intervals. Get him in.

Batsmen for KXIP vs KKR Dream 11

KL Rahul and Chris Gayle walk into my team for the kind of form they have been for KXIP at the top order. While earlier it used to all be about brisk starts for the duo, this year they have taken more responsibility and have ensured that they have taken KXIP over the line, or at least they have tried to.

Shubman Gill’s promotion to the top of the order has played into the hands of Fantasy managers, who wanted to earlier get him, but couldn’t, as he batted too low down the order. Opening the batting and getting to face the ball when it is as hard as new as it can be, Gill is enjoying that top order success and isn’t to be left out.

Mayank Agarwal has been a good deputy to both KL Rahul and Chris Gayle, handling the pressure whenever needed and using the long handle when upping the ante is the need of the hour for Kings XI Punjab. He has helped both Gayle and Rahul play the anchor’s role too, while sometimes doing the same, when both Gayle and Rahul are back in the pavilion.

For the final pick, I go in with another top 4 batsman, in Nitish Rana. The KKR left hander has brilliantly helped Kolkata Knight Riders set the show up for Andre Russell. On current form, do not leave him out.
