Cameron Green grabbed headlines during IPL 2026 mini-auction when Kolkata Knight Riders secured him for a whopping amount of Rs 25.20 crore. However, he has been struggling with the bat, managing just 24 runs across three innings - 18 against Mumbai Indians, 2 vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, and 4 against Punjab Kings. Initially sidelined from bowling due to a lower-back injury, Green has now been cleared by Cricket Australia, meaning he can contribute with both bat and ball, giving KKR a key advantage ahead of IPL 2026 clash vs LSG

Mohammed Shami, who was traded from Sunrisers Hyderabad to Lucknow Super Giants ahead of IPL 2026 mini-auction for RS 10 crore, has been leading Hyderabad's bowling attack this season. On his IPL debut, Shami made an immediate impact by dismissing star wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul for a golden duck, becoming the first bowler in IPL history to claim a wicket with the very first ball of an innings on five separate occasions. He continued his impressive form with a brilliant 2/9 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, bowling 18 dot balls in the process. With plenty of experience at Eden Gardens from his domestic cricket days, Shami poses a serious challenge to dismiss KKR's top-order.

Following a disappointing IPL 2025 season, Rishabh Pant looks in a good touch in IPL 2026. Promoting himself to No. 3, LSG skipper played an impactful knock of 68* off 50 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad, powering his team to victory.

imbabwe's tall pacer Blessing Muzarabani, who played a crucial role in T20 World Cup 2026, was picked by KKR as a injury replacement of Mustafizur Rahman. He has been a key bowler in KKR's lineup as he has picked a four-wicket haul against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
9/9
IANS
Angkrish Raghuvanshi has proven to be a valuable all-round option for KKR this season, even stepping in as a wicketkeeper to strengthen the team's balance. Opening the batting, he has smashed consecutive fifties in the first two games. With the advantage of playing at home in Kolkata, Raghuvanshi could once again play a pivotal role against LSG.
