Pitch Report
The wicket at Dr. DY Patil Academy has aided slow bowlers, but batting has been difficult, especially with field restrictions. The new ball glides smoothly onto the bat. However, scoring runs has been difficult when the ball becomes soft. Skippers who win the toss can choose to bat first and post a competitive total on the board, which they can defend later.

Despite failing to score in the previous match, LSG captain KL Rahul is the second-highest run-scorer in IPL 2022. The right-handed batter has scored 469 runs in just 13 games, with an impressive average of 42.64. Rahul will want to make a strong comeback and win the game for his team in the next match.
Probable best bowler of the Match: Varun Chakravarthy
Varun Chakravarthy, KKR’s ace spinner, bowled brilliantly in the previous match against SRH. Despite taking only one wicket, he created a few chances with his bowling. Varun’s variations can come in handy as the wickets slow, and he could be the bowler to watch in the next game.
