The star
Why did we select KL Rahul as the skipper?
135 runs in three matches shows the form KL Rahul is enjoying in IPL 2018.
Rahul has a strike-rate of 198.52 and an average of 45.00.
He is bound to give you points and his presence during power-play will be of huge help.
Being the wicket-keeper, he can account for dismissals which, in turn, would be a bonus.
The battle against Bhuvneshwar is vital.
Afghan delight
Rashid Khan will be crucial with his dot balls
The young Afghan is the top T20 spinner, at the moment, in the world and will be the trump card for SRH.
One should go ahead with Rashid, given he is assured of 4-over spell in the match.
In three matches he has bowled 32 dot balls.
The pressure created due to these dot deliveries help him in picking wickets.
Bangla tiger
In-form Shakib a must choice in the side
All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been SRH's top buy in the auction.
He brings so much as a player.
In three matches he has picked five wickets at a decent economy of 6.50.
He played a vital 27-run knock against KKR, and innings such as that could help in this game too.
He is Kane Williamson's go to player.
Dhawan firing
Southpaw Dhawan brings flair in batting
Shikhar Dhawan had carried his T20I form into the IPL and that has been a big factor for SRH.
Dhawan has 130 runs in three innings so far and will look to continue in the same vein against KXIP.
He has a top score of 78* and his ability to bat long makes him an ideal choice.
He is a crucial asset for SRH.
Senior star
The experienced Ashwin is a no-brainer
KXIP skipper Ravichandran Ashwin is a vital cog in the Fantasy XI team.
The senior player has four wickets so far in IPL 2018 and has an economy rate of 7.08.
Bringing the economy a bit down will be his task in this crucial fixture.
Ashwin has also scored 47 runs while batting and is a busy customer in the lower middle-order.
