In the 53rd match of IPL 2022, Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders will take on each other. With 7 wins in 10 matches, LSG are placed in the second position in the points table and a win in this match will help them take the first place. They have won their previous three matches and would be looking to make it four in a row. Their last four wins have come while defending the total. However, they would still be hoping for a better performance from the bowlers as they conceded 189 runs in the previous match against Delhi Capitals.
Kolkata Knight Riders finally managed to find the perfect recipe to win a game after losing 5 matches on the trot. They out-powered Rajasthan Royals in the previous match by 7 wickets after chasing a target of 153 runs. KKR would be hoping for a similar performance in this game.
Here are 3 players you can avoid in your fantasy teams for the LSG vs KKR game:
1. Baba Indrajith
Baba Indrajith made his IPL debut for KKR against Delhi Capitals and batted in the number four position. He made 6 runs off 8 deliveries in that match. In the next game, Indrajith opened the innings for KKR along with Aaron Finch and made 15 runs off 16 deliveries. Before coming into the tournament, Indrajith was in great form in domestic tournaments. He was the leading run-scorer for Tamil Nadu in Ranji Trophy and was the second-highest run-scorer for the team in Vijay Hazare Trophy. However, he has not been able to carry forward the same to this edition of the IPL. You can pick other in-form wicketkeepers in your fantasy team in place of Indrajith.
2. Dushmantha Chameera
Dushmantha Chameera has taken 8 wickets in 8 matches for Lucknow Super Giants in the tournament. The Sri Lankan pacer made his debut for LSG against Gujarat Titans and picked 2 wickets for 22 runs. However, he went wicketless in the next 2 matches. He is bowling decently, but his economy is slightly on the higher side. You can pick other economical bowlers in your team and avoid Chameera.
3. Sunil Narine
Before the start of the IPL 2022 auction, KKR decided to retain 4 players including Sunil Narine. In the last game against Rajasthan Royals, they decided to include only 2 out of these 4 retained players in the playing 11. He has not conceded more than 31 runs in any of the matches this season, however, has not picked a significant number of wickets. With the bat, he has been able to make a double-digit score only once. KKR can include someone like Mohammad Nabi or Chamika Karunaratne in place of Narine in the upcoming matches. You can avoid Narine for this game in your fantasy team.
