The 29-year-old needs to lead from the front, especially when Shreyas Iyer is not available at the moment. He scored 24 runs off 17 deliveries in the previous match which was not enough. Skipper Nitish Rana, meanwhile, needs to take more responsibility with the bat. Mandeep Singh may also come in as an impact player to bat at number three but Anukul Roy has slightly better chances of featuring there since he can bowl a couple of overs as well. ![]() Skipper Nitish Rana didn’t trust him with the ball and with the bat, there’s a lot of room for improvement. However, that is all he did in the match.

If Gurbaz fails to shine, he might get dropped in the upcoming matches. This time, he will hope to get better, since Litton Das will soon join the squad and can pose a challenge for his position. He started well in the match against PBKS but unfortunately lost his wicket while batting on 22. Meanwhile, Rahmanullah Gurbaz will have the responsibility to give the franchise a good start in the powerplay. However, since Mandeep Singh failed, it is expected that KKR will go back to Iyer as an opener in the upcoming match. Notably, Iyer came to bat at number four in the previous match which is one slot that is close to his heart since he plays in that position for Madhya Pradesh. ![]() (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)Īfter a flop show from Mandeep Singh in the opening game, it is expected that Venkatesh Iyer will be opening the innings along with Rahmanullah Gurbaz.
