Both Suyakumar Yadav (3 off 7) and Ishan Kishan (11 off 10) made forgettable returns in the last game against CSK. The duo was sensational last season but haven’t been able to replicate those performances in IPL 2021. With the tournament moving to UAE, it will be interesting to see if the duo could turn the fortunes around in the upcoming matches.
Hardik Pandya had a slight niggle and therefore was ruled out of the last game against CSK. He should be back in the side for the game against KKR. It will be interesting to see whether he plays as a special batsman or an all-rounder.
