Lucknow on the other hand, will look to bounce back as they have won three matches out of five. KL Rahul-led LSG is currently sitting in the fourth position.

The visitors will miss the services of their pace sensation Mayank Yadav. The pacer needs a few more days to recover from his injury. Ravi Bishnoi in their previous match bagged two wickets and conceded just 25 runs in four overs. Yas Thakur has also impressed the dugout and has been hitting the right areas. Despite the fall of early wickets in their previous game, Ayush Badoni stood strong and struck an unbeaten 55 runs.

KKR also have the likes of Sunil Narine, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, and Ander Russell who are the consistent run scorers for the side. Captain Shreyas Iyer too is having a decent IPL 2024 campaign but will look forward to scoring huge runs for the team.
