Here we are going to discuss about a few players from both sides who can be very good picks for KKR vs RR Dream 11 Prediction teams
Ben Stokes : Ben Stokes has produced two match winning knocks in the last two matches and in the last match he also picked up 2 wickets so currently he is a must pick given his form.
Shubman Gill : He has been the leading run scorer of his team this season and has got starts in all matches so he will look to post a good score in this match as well.
Sanju Samson : He too has played two good knocks in the last two matches and the wicket keeper batsman of Royals will look to continue his good form.
