Rahul Tewatia

Varun Aaron / Yash Dayal

Daya has been a touch expensive in the games that he has played for the franchise. If the management wishes, they can replace him with the experienced Varun Aaron in the line-up or another spinner all-rounder in Sai Kishore.

Alzarri Joseph

Joseph picked up 2/34 in his first gale in the IPL for Gujarat Titans. Joseph Shami and Ferguson will form a tremendous ace trio for Gujarat and can pose a challenge for the KKR side which seems depleted and low on confidence.
