Analysis
KKR
P-7, W-3, L- 4.Narine, Rahane and Iyer are holding the fort in batting. All others have failed. Inconsistent batting with the openers never giving a good stand.Moeen plays one match and then sits out. The team is surviving on good bowling- two pacers (Rana, Arora) and two spinners- Narine, Varun). Overall, the team is average with batsmen likely to improve their consistency in scoring runs.
Likely to shine- Q de Kock, Rahane, Varun, Rana.
GT
P- 7, W- 5, L- 2. Surprisingly, the top four batsmen, sai Sudarshan, Gill, Buttler and Rutherford have been in good form scoring in almost every match. The middle order has never been tested.Tewatia, S Khan, W Sundar have failed miserably. Both the pacers- Siraj, Krishna are wicket takers. Spinners are average- Sai Kishore and R Khan losing steam. Overall the team is average with over reliance on the top four batsmen. They may fail this time. Pacers are good, Spinners are weak.
Likely to shine- Gill, Tewatia, R Khan, Siraj.
Comparison
