KKR will have all the players available going to the match against RR on Monday. Recently Aaron Finch joined the team and was drafted straight into the XI. He replaced Ajinkya Rahane at the top of the order, which meant Sam Billings also had to make way for Sheldon Jackson.

Although the Australian white-ball skipper had a poor outing in the first match, he’s expected to continue batting at the top, meaning Sheldon Jackson will also keep his place in the side.

There are also no injury concerns in the KKR camp. It is to be noted that, Rasikh Salam was recently ruled out of the tournament due to injury but the J&K pacer was replaced with Aman Khan in the squad.
