Important Players of Both Teams :-

Every time rely on their best players and in the upcoming  match the form of these players will decide the result of the match. Here are the important players which is also called key players of both the team which can turn the game towards their side at any moment.

KKR Key Players :-

1. Gautam Gambhir
2. Yusuf Pathan
3. Manish Pandey
4. Andre Russell
5. Sunil Narine

SRH Key Players :-

1. David Warner
2. Yuvraj Singh
3. Shikhar Dhawan
4. Deepak Hooda
5. Mustafizur Rahman

Performance of both the teams in IPL 2016 :-

Lets first look at the Kolkata Knight Riders performance, They have started the tournament with a win against Delhi Daredevils and from there they stick to the winning track but in the middle of the League they lost few matches but till the end they manage to win 8 matches out of 14 and with 16 points they grabbed the 4th spot on the points table. This season the player who shined and became match winner on many occasion from KKR side is the Yusuf Pathan. He shocked every body with his performance and told the world with his bat he has the ability which is needed to win the match. He is awarded 2 times with the man of the match and played many match winning innings for his team. Captain Gautam Gambhir also good with the bat. He has scored 5 fifties so far in 14 innings. The opening pair of Knight Riders is one of the best among other but from last few matches one of them getting out early due to which team feels pressure and struggle in the match. In the middle order young Manish Pandey is there who has scored century in IPL history than Suryakumar Yadav who is recently appointed as vice captain of the team. Andre Russell is one of the important player of Kolkata who can bat as well as bowl recently injured due to which he wasn’t played last couple of games. Hope he will be fit for the Eliminator match SRH vs KKR.

They have very strong bowling line up specially the spin attack. Sunil Narine the spin master is there with the team who is every economical with his magical deliveries. Piyush Chawla who is also performing good and providing important breakthrough to the team, All rounder Shakib Al Hasan also handy with the ball. In the pace attack Umesh Yadav, Morne Morkel and Andre Russell are with the team. If we look at the purple cap race, Russell is the leading wicket taker from the KKR squad, took 15 wickets on 12 balls.

In Sunrisers Hyderabad Batting line up, David Warner is one man army and when he crossed 50 runs marks his team won the match on 80% occasion. On the other hand they have lost 80% of the matches if Warner gets out early which is not good at all for the team. Big names like Yuvraj Singh, Shikhar Dhawan, Kane Williamson, Eoin Morgan are there in their squad but none of them consistent. Shikhar Dhawan started scoring runs in the middle of the tournament but again the flop show has been started. In the whole League he is unable to deliver for which he is famous for. He has scored 4 fifties in IPL 2016 but if we look at the strike rate only of 118.71 which is not belongs to him generally. Yuvraj Singh also not scored runs for the team. So the team management and the coaching staff will be worried towards their batting performance. If they want to give tough competition to the Kolkata Knight Riders than the batsman other than Warner have to score runs. If we look at the orange cap race, he is just behind Virat Kohli and is on 2nd spot in the list of leading run scorer with 658 runs in 14 matches. Also he has scored most fifties in IPL 2016 (total seven). So this shows he is in form batsman and his inning in the upcoming match surely affects the result of the upcoming SRH vs KKR match.

Hyderabad have one of the best bowling line up in this season but they have lost Ashish Nehra who is ruled out of IPL 2016 few days back due to an injury occured during a match. He was very economical with the ball specially in the slog overs. Now Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mustafizur Rahman have to bear all the responsibility and have to perform better than ever. Both are in the race of Purple Cap. In SRH squad mostly pacers are there. Braindra Sran also taking important wickets early in the match and Rahman in the middle overs very effective with his slower ones and yorkers. Deepak Hooda is the only spinner they have. Mostly they rely on the pacers and let’s see how they bowl to KKR batting line up.

Basics which matters Most :-

Cricket is a game of some rules and basics which to be followed. But people thinks in T20 cricket there is no basics but Virat Kohli set example for those who think like that. The team which will play better cricket and specially follow the basis of cricket will win this upcoming match and both Batting & bowling department have to contribute to win the grand battle at Feroz Shah Kotla on 25th May 2016.

Team Overview and their Performance in IPL 2016 :-

Lets talk about Gujarat Lions first, they have got tremendous start in the tournament and out of 7 matches they have won 6 matches but from there the downfall started for the GL. In the last 5 matches, they have tasted defeat 4 times. So the team confidence definable need some boost. The last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore they have lost by 144 runs which is one of the biggest defeat of IPL. But as we know they have true match winners in their squad and they know who to stand back in the tournament. So they will try to win this match against KKR and ensure their entry into the next round of IPL.

GL have good batting and bowling side. In the batting unit New Zealand’s player Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith is the opening pair of them. In the middle order Captain Suresh Raina, along with Dinesh Kartik, Dwayne Brawo, Ravindra Jadeja are there for the team. What they have to do is spend some time on the pitch and rotate strike for few overs and then try to play big shots. All the players have to contribute themselves in the team performance so that they can have a big total in front of KKR. In the bowling unit, Dhawal Kulkarni, Praveen Kumar and DJ Brawo holding the pace attack of GL where in the spin department Ravindra Jadega along with the man having the extra ordinary bowling action Shivil Kaushik. GL have to restrict KKR under small total as Kolkata have better bowling unit.

If we look at the Kolkata Knight Riders, started the tournament very well and now they are in comfortable position and with one win can easily qualify into the play-offs. Captain Gautam Gambhir along with Robin Uthappa scoring good runs and providing wonderful start to the team. But from last couple of games the opening pair dismissed early due to which team felt under pressure. Thanks to the Yusuf Pathan who is in great touch in this IPL 2016. He is scoring quick fire runs and helping other batsman by take off the pressure from him so that they can play freely. He is also awarded man of the match 2 times in IPL 2016. In the middle order Manish Pandey, Surya Kumar Yadav are there for the team. KKR also having all-rounder like Shakib Al Hasan and Andre Russell who can play big shots and add quick runs to the team total. In the bowling department, Andre Russell is the most successful bowler from Kolkata side, he has taken 15 wickets in 12 innings. He is at no. 5 spot in the leading wicket taker bowlers list of IPL 2016. Umesh Yadav, Morne Morkel are holding the pace attack with the Russell. In the spin department, the west Indies spinner who is one of the most economical bowlers of IPL (all time) Sunil Narine is there along with Piyush Chawla and Shakib Al Hasan. Yusuf Pathan also can bowl too at crucial stage. So they having good bowling line up. The thing on which they have to concentrate is the batting. Opening pair have to provide a good start to the team and one of them should play a big innings so that a big total can be scored.

Surely GL vs KKR match is going to be a good battle between the two and yes this battle is for the Play-off. The team which will win today will confirm their entry into the play-offs for sure. Both the team having 2 remaining match and to qualify into the next round of IPL 2016 they have to win only one match out of 2. But to get in top 2 teams they will try to win all the 2 match they have remaining.

Earlier Performance of KKR and RCB in the IPL 2016

About Royal Challengers Bangalore :-

If we look on the all 8 teams, RCB is the team who has one of the strongest  batting line up and we have seen how brutally their batsman hits the ball and destroy the bowling spell of the opponent bowlers. The four batsman on which their full batting performance depends. First is Mr. consistent, the run machine, the captain of Bangalore team Virat Kohli who is current orange cap holder of IPL 2016 with 677 runs in 11 innings with 3 centuries which is a record in IPL history. The sixer king Chris Gayle who’s bat is quiet from a while but when he will back in the form, there will be raining sixes for sure. One of the finest cricketer of all format, specially in T20 format he is brilliant with his bat and also in the filed, he is South African batsman AB de Villiers who has scored 129* runs recently against Gujarat Lions and with total 538 runs in 11 innings is on 3rd position in the leading runs scorer list. The fourth one is the Australian all-rounder Shane Watson, he is doing extremely good with the bat as well as with the ball. In the slog overs his ability of hitting big shots make RCB to put big total on the board. There are few more batsman who is also showing their talent like Lokesh Rahul who is very consistent too, scored 332 runs in just 8 innings. Also batsman like Sachin baby and Sarfraz Khan added much more strength to the team batting line up. They have the strongest batting order among the other for sure and in the last match they have shown to the world that yes they believe in their batting and scored second highest total of Indian Premier League of 248 runs in 20 overs. Two batsman Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers scored their hundred in the match against GL.

One thing in which they struggled in every match of IPL 2016 is their bowling. Yes if they have good batting side, they have weak bowling side too. From last few matches bowling performance of the Royal Challengers Bangalore improved in comparison to earlier matches. Shane Watson and Yuzvendra Chahal both are very effective from the last few games. Chris Jorden also took 4 wickets against Gujarat Lions in which RCB made GL all out on just 104 runs. The new man included into the playing XI from last couple of games Sreenath Aravind impressed every one with his bowling. He can swing the ball in both the direction and was very economical so far . After the last match, RCB will be very confident with his batting as well as bowling.

If we look at the points table, so far only Sunrisers Hyderabad have qualified to the play-offs. RCB has played 11 matches, won 5 out of them and with 10 points on the 6th place in the points table. If Bangalore want to qualify to the next stage then they have to win all their 3 remaining matches which included this KKR vs RCB match too.

About Kolkata Knight Riders :-

If we look onto the contenders who can win the IPL 2016 title, KKR is one of them. They are one of the most balanced squad among the 8 teams of IPL 9. The batting as well as bowling unit quite good in terms of the performance. They have played 11 matches in the tournament so far and on 7 occasions defeated the opponent. With 14 points they are on the 2nd spot in the points table. They have to win only 1 match out of three they have remaining to get qualified into the play offs. But KKR will seek to top position since there will be an advantage to the top 2 teams. The top two teams will play first qualifier and the team loses in that match will get another chance to become IPL finalist.

If we look onto the batting order of Kolkata Knight Riders team, the opening pair of Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa are in great touch, both the batsman scoring runs for the team. But from last few matches they are loosing early wickets. The team is much dependent on both of them and if they got out early whole team comes into pressure. The good thing for them is that the Yusuf Pathan is back in the form and played many match winning innings in IPL 2016. In the last match against Rising Pune Supergiants, he was on fire and in just 5 overs chased down the 66 runs of target. Despite of 2 wickets down in the very first over, he played without any pressure scored 37 runs on just 18 balls and made his team win the match by 8 wickets. Gautam Gambhir is the leading run scorer from his team with 398 runs in 11 innings. Surya Kumar Yadav, Manish Pandey, Andre Russell, Shakib Al Hasan are there in the middle order who can bat and snatch win from the opponent single-handedly.

In the bowling department, Andre Russell is having most wicket in his bag from their squad, 15 wickets in 11 innings and few days back grab the purple cap which is now given to Mumbai Indians bowlers Mitchell McClenaghan (17 wickets in 13 innings). Umesh Yadav and Morne Morkel holding the pace attack along with Russell. If we look at the spin attack they have best spinners under their shed, Sunil Narine, Piyush Chawla, Brad Hogg are there who can easily turn up the match in a single over. So the bowling line up is all ready to bring another victory into the KKR bag. It will be tough competition in the Kolkata vs Bangalore match for both the teams and it will be tough to predict winner of the match but the team which will play good cricket with the bat and ball will win the match for sure.

Earlier Encounter: Head To head Comparison :-

If we look onto the previous season, total 16 matches have been played between both the team out of which each have won 8-8 matches which means both teams are equal in the head to head comparison. But if we look onto the previous match played in IPL 2016 between KKR and RCB, Kolkata won the match by 5 wickets. So it means the score is 9-8 now and it will be good chance for the Virat Kohli to level the score today by winning the KKR vs RCB match.

Toss : Surely an Advantage 

The team which will win the toss today will be in advantage for sure. Each of the captain will look forward to bowl first as the trend going on in IPL 2016. We have seen 80% of matches won by the team who batted second and In this match we will see the same trend to be followed.

Toss Prediction: From our prediction, Virat Kohli (RCB) will win the toss and go for the field first.

Teams Performance in IPL 2016 :-

Rising Pune Supergiants : This is the first season for them as they have included into the tournament in place of Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings who were banned due to fixing allegations in 2013 season by supreme court. RPS has started the tournament with a win in which they have defeated defending champions Mumbai Indians but from there downfall in the performance of team started. Due to the injuries some of their main players ruled out of the tournament which is one of the main cause for such performance into the IPL 9. They have played 11 matches so far and only on 3 occasions they manage to win the match. With 6 points they are on the last spot in the points table. From last few matches they have lost the game with a very narrow difference and who can forget when SRH defeated RPS by only four runs. So now team looking good, the batting and bowling combination is quite balanced. But four important players, Kevin Pietersen, Steven Smith, Faf du Plessis and Mitchell Marsh are not with them because of the injuries which can be feel in the performance of the team. Usman Khawaja and George Bailey are the new members of the team which are signed as the replacement of injured players, but none of them performed well in the last 2 matches they have played in the tournament.

In the batting department Ajinkya Rahane is the top run scorer among the other batman of the team, scored 417 runs in 11 innings with 6 fifties. He is at no. 4th in the list of leading run scorer of IPL 2016. He is having most fifties in the tournament too. So team is pretty much dependent on him and yes he is delivering too, scoring good runs for the team. But since Faf du Plessis is not there with him to open, the opening pair not giving good start to the team. Hope in the upcoming match Khawaja will score runs for which he is famous. Saurabh Tiwari is also performing from last few matches. In the slog overs Thisara Perera is also handy and can hit big sixes for which he is known. MS Dhoni is also not seen that effective in the tournament which he is used to in the previous season. The new spin attack provided the strength to the bowling department. Yes we are talking about the Adam Zampa who has taken 6 wickets in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad but unfortunately RPS lost the match by 4 runs. Perera, Rajat Bhatia, RP Singh there in the pace attack who have ability to provide early breakthroughs. In the spin attack one of the best bowler of T20 cricket Ravichandran Ashwin holding the hands with Zampa. So If we look on both department then there is no big name in the squad but can win the match if all the players contribute their individual performance. RPS is already out of the tournament, they have nothing to lose from here but some good wins will boost the confidence of the players and the fans will love to watch their team winning again in the Indian Premier league.

Kolkata Knight Riders :- One of the strong contender of IPL 2016 title KKR is all ready to win the upcoming KKR vs RPS match. They have wonderful season so far. They have played 10 matches out of which 6 wins in their bag and with 12 points is on 4th position in the points table. If they will win this match against RPS with a good difference then they also have a chance to top the table with 14 points. Now Sunrisers Hyderabad is on the top with 14 points same as of Gujarat Lions but due to less net run rate they are on 2nd spot. They have started the tournament with a win against Delhi Daredevils and from there played a very good cricket in the tournament. There are few occasions on which the performance of the team not up to the mark where they taste the defeat. But overall a good side and a strong contender of the title.

They have not so many big names in their squad but they know how to win matches. The opening pair of KKR is one of the best among the other 7 teams of IPL 2016. Robin Uthappa and Gautam Gambhir are giving their team a good start and on 90% occasion they won the match if they score 60+ runs together for the 1st wicket. One of the best thing in their batting department is that every player contribute themselves and add some runs into the team totals. We have seen Andre Russell who can hit big hits. The hero of first season of IPL, Yusuf Pathan who recently scored a very quick fifty and bring his team to the victory. Gautam Gambhir is the leading run scorer from KKR side, scored 398 runs in 10 innings. So the batting department is quite good and scoring runs for the team.

If we look onto the bowling department, Umesh Yadav, Andre Russell, Morne Morkel holding the pace attack and are very effective so far. Russell have taken 14 wickets in 10 matches and is recently awarded with the purple cap but now the cap is given to Mitchell McClenaghan who has 17 wickets in his bag. In the spin attack Brad Hogg one of the most experience player who is still playing cricket, Sunil Narine the one who is known for his brilliant deliveries and his economy, Shakib Al Hasan the Bangladeshi spinner who is also popular for his batting.

Battle Between KXIP and KKR :

Earlier Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to bowl first. Once again a solid start was given by both the openers Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa. They have added 101 run on the board in 13.3 overs before Gambhir wickets fallen in the form of run out. He scored his 4th fifty in tournament and is on second position in the race of Orange Cap. In the 17th over Uthappa got run out on the score 70 and the team total was 137/2 in 16.5 overs. In the end of 20 overs Kolkata Knight Riders putted 164 runs on the board on the loss of three wickets. In the last over only 4 runs was concluded. A great bowling performance by Sandeep Sharma and Axar Patel for their team.

Now its time to KXIP to bat and chase down 165 runs target in 20 overs. Captain Murali Vijay and Marcus Stoinis came to open the innings. In the very first over of Russell Stoinis dismissed caught by Chawla. This was a big blow for the team as the team relaying on him. Next Manan Vohra came to bat but he was not looking good with the bat and struggling while playing shots and in the third over of Russell we flicked the ball towards square leg but didn’t connect well and caught on the boundary. On the next ball Captain Murli Vijay departed on a slower delivery of  Morne Morkel. KXIP was in really big trouble at that time, on the score of  13 runs they lost 3 main wickets. Now all the responsibility came on the shoulders of Glenn Maxwell and Wridhiman Saha. Both the batsman started rotating the strike and adding runs to the total of their team. As It looks like that now both the batsman can take away this match, Saha got bold out on a delivery of Piyush Chawla. Now Punjab is 53/4 in 9 overs. He score 24 runs on 20 balls. But Maxwell was their for the team and he charged himself. He started to play his natural game and completed his half century in just 29 balls with 4 massive. David Miller was only giving strike to the Maxwell as he is scoring runs. Now KKR is on back foot first time in the game. No bowler looking impressive in front of Maxwell. In the 16th over, Glenn was given LBW while he is trying reverse swipe on Piyush Chawla, the team score was 120/5 in 15.4 overs. He scored 68 runs on just 42 balls with 4 sixes and 6 fours. Once again KKR back in the game. After playing few dot balls David Miller also caught at the mid wicket. Now KXIP was in really trouble as they need 35 runs on 21 balls. Then Axar patel played a fantastic innings. He smashed 2 sixes in a row and took his team back in the game and in the second last over too he snatched 10 runs. Now in the last over KXIP needed 12 runs to win the match. But Axar got run out on the 2nd ball of the Andre Russell over where all the hope of Punjab shattered.

Performance of Both the team in IPL 2016 :-

If we look at the KXIP team first, from the starting match they are not quite comfortable with their batting. Opening pair Murli Vijay and Manan Vohra gave some good start to the team but no one of them took their small innings to the big one. The middle order in not scoring runs. They have big names in their batting order like Glenn Maxwell, David Miller who are fully capable of destroying bowling spells of opponent bowlers but again no one is sticking on the crease for some time. They looks like just throwing their wicket while trying in hitting big shots. David Miller was the captain of the team earlier but before the last match the team Management of Kings XI Punjab and the coaching staff gave the responsibility of captaincy to the Murli Vijay and under his captaincy team won their second match of the league against Gujarat Lions. In this match KXIP shown their bowling strength and Axar Patel becomes the first bowler of IPL 2016 who took first Hat-trick of the season. After winning last match the confidence of the players should have built up and the team will ready to tackle KKR in the upcoming match.

Kolkata Knight Riders is one of the strongest team of IPL 2016. They have won the title 2 times in the history and in this season they are playing very good cricket. They don’t have too many big names in their squad but going good in the tournament. They have played 8 matches in the league and registered 5 wins. The secret behind the success of the team is that every player of team know their role and when they came onto the ground they are executing the instructions. Every player is contributing which enhancing the performance of the team. One of the strong thing in the KKR is the opening pair, Captain Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa are scoring runs and in the middle order Manish Pandey, Surya Kumar Yadav are there for the team. Yusuf Pathan and Andre Russell have the ability to add quick runs to the scoreboard. In Bowling department, one of the finest spinner of cricket world Sunil Narine is holding hands with Piyush Chawla. So the team looks so balance with the batting as well as bowling.

Which team Will the Match :-

This is one of the beam question for the fans of both the teams and but if we looks onto the previous performances KKR is ahead of KXIP and winning chances of them is higher in the match.

KKR team have played 7 matches so far out of which they have 4 matches in the bag and with 8 points on the 4th position in the points table. In the League Royal Challengers Bangalore has not performed up to the mark. The team is one of the strongest team of the league but again they are struggling with their bowling department. Mitchell Strac is not there with the team this year since he is not fit and the present bowlers are not taking wickets for their team. Bangalore team won the 2 matches while chasing and lost 4 while defending. Despite of target of 190+ runs they loosing matches. So bowling is the serious problem for the Captain Virat Kohli and the other Coaching staff. If we look on the batting order, Kohli, AB de Villiers, Shane Watson, KL Rahul are some of the players which are scoring runs for the RCB. So Batting is good, only thing which need improvement is the bowling.

Kolkata Knight Riders lost couple of games in the IPL. The main problem they face in the last few matches are with the middle order. Robin Uthappa and Captain Gautam Gambhir is scoring good runs and are in the list of Top 10 run scorer of the tournament. But the in the middle order there is no Manish Pandey as he is injured, Surya Kumar Yadav not converting his good start into a big score, Yusuf Pathan struggling with the runs. The bowling is superb specially Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav are doing very good with the ball.
