Venkatesh Iyer has been in great touch for Kolkata. However, the rest of the batting hasn’t clicked and Iyer’s contribution on few occasions has gone in vain.
Varun Chakravarthy may not have had a brilliant season, he’s still Kolkata’s one of the premium bowlers that their captain goes for when they need wickets. Chakravarthy’s variation is his skillset.
Hardik Pandya, the skipper of Titans has been their mainframe with the bat and the ball too. Hardik the batter is more dangerous than the bowler himself. Hardik hasn’t been amongst the runs this season, but he just needs one good innings to get his mojo back.
