Did not think Baba Indraijth was a good enough keeper before he started keeping for KKR this season. Was a pleasant surprise, so he takes the gloves this match for us. Hopefully the 2 changes can help, we've been riding on individual performances till now

It seems Hyderabad have our number as the head to head is hugely in favor of them with 4 wins of the 5. So it is time to change that a bit towards our favor hopefully. With Afridi recovering and needing one more game to be fully fit, Karthik will lead us for this match too. Marnus Labuschagne comes in to add to that middle order.

It is a dry pitch which is good for us as all our batters our pretty good against spin. Our spin trio of Jadeja, Jalaj & Nadeem will hopefully come good as there is lot of variety in that spin attack. Both Jalaj & Nadeem are super excited to make their presence felt and we know how good these both have been over the years in the Indian domestic circuit. Hopefully they carry on the good work here too for us.

It's a little unfortunate for Alzarri that he is injured and won't be available to us for the rest of the season after playing just one game. If something bad happens there's always something good that can made out of it and hence we would like sub Moeen Ali into our squad.

I think it's just a pretty bad phase for us considering we were the 3rd best side in the history of IODC before this season had begun. Also we were the runners-up in AKT last season so to lose 4 in a row is a massive disappointment. There's only one way for us now and it's the way up.

Prithvi Shaw
Rohit Sharma
Moeen Ali ^
Faf du Plessis
Srikar Bharat
Riyan Parag (won't bowl)
James Neesham ^
Jofra Archer ^
Kuldeep Yadav ^
Ravi Bishnoi ^
Kamlesh Nagarkoti ^

Moeen Ali's inclusion suddenly makes up for our inexperienced middle order but it takes away our 2nd Overseas pacer (something that we were eyeing for this season). I think this infact gives us the freedom to play Neesham and both our spinners. So everything pretty much evens up.

We are just clueless regarding how the surface is going to behave so possibly nothing can be said about the result but I think we are fielding our best XI thus far in the season in this game.

I should have typed something pimping my line up but I am lazy.
