Head-to-head

Trivia

LSG skipper KL Rahul has been enjoying a brilliant run of form in this year’s competition and with two centuries, he is second in the top-scorers list. Against KKR, he will have the chance to add a brilliant feat to his name as he is 49 runs away from getting 500 runs for the 5th consecutive season.

On the other hand, the opening partnership has been a serious point of concern for KKR as the Shreyas Iyer-led side has not registered a single 50-plus opening stand this year.
