KKR Key Players

Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer’s knock of 42 runs against DC in the last match was a bit of a sign of his coming back into form, But he needs something special innings for which he is known for. Everyone knows he is a top-class batsman and can cause damage to RR bowlers.

Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch is known for batting fearlessly but he has not done this so far for the team. He will have a great chance in this match against RR to show the quality of batting he has. He needs to capitalize on the chances that he has taken start on a few occasions.

Jos Buttler

RR team has become more of a one-man team in IPL 2022 and that is Jos Buttler. He is performing in almost all games and hit 67 runs in the last game also.

Jos Buttler is absolutely fluent this season and will look to add more runs under his belt in this match also.

Devdutt Padikkal would love to get some runs under these conditions. He has aggressive instincts and will look to attack bowlers from the start. His innings will be key for RR in this match.
