Preview for KXIP vs KKR MyTeam11 Contest:
Kings XI Punjab failed, once again in the tournament, which means that they have now won just one game in six matches played so far. Warner and Bairstow ran riot and the opening partnership added 150 runs on the board before they were finally dismissed. Kings XI Punjab batsmen, except the odd mesmerising hitting of Nicholas Pooran, struggled while chasing the 200+ score and immediately need points on board.

KXIP vs KKR MyTeam11 Teams
Head to Head/Small League
In the small league, the expected playing XI consisting of the best players should be chosen. And as such, assembling the best individuals to ensure maximum quality in all departments will be the right thing to do.
Mega League
Experimental lineups should be put out for this and since both teams could look to shuffle the pack a little.
Top Picks for KXIP vs KKR MyTeam11 Contest:
Rahul Tripathi: Rahul Tripathi dazzled coming on as an opener against CSK as KKR tried to move away from the Narine at the top experiment which failed to provide results. This experiment, however, worked really well and Tripathi scored 81 runs and also won the Man of the Match.
Andre Russell: Andre Russell was the most destructive player last season and was felicitated with Man of the Tournament. He hit the most sixes, scored over 500 runs at a strike rate above 200 and also took more than 10 wickets! KKR are still awaiting for him to explode this season.
KL Rahul: KL Rahul has really come into his own in this tournament and his batting has been a treat to watch. After his unbeaten knock of 132 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore, he scored 69 off 54 deliveries against Rajasthan. He scored 63 runs in the match against Chennai Super Kings as well.
Mayank Agarwal: Along with KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal forms a formidable duo. He got his century in the match against Rajasthan Royals. He also scored 89 runs in the opening match.
Captain Picks for KXIP vs KKR MyTeam11 Contest:
Captain: KL Rahul and Andre Russell
KL Rahul has been absolutely sublime in this tournament but the pressure will be on him to deliver even strongly since his team is in a jeopardy right now. Andre Russell has failed to get going in the tournament, but the demoralised KXIP bowling unit might give him a chance to explode, so he could prove to be a surprise pick.
Vice Captains: Shubman Gill and Mayank Agarwal
Shubman Gill has failed to perform in the previous few matches and he’d be eyeing a good knock at this ground. Mayank Agarwal was unfortunate to get run out in the last match and the batsman will try to get in form with a big score.
Budget picks for KXIP vs KKR MyTeam11 Contest:
Sam Curran: Sam is one of the best players between both the teams and would be expected to do well. He is available for just 8.5 credits.
Ambati Rayudu: Ambati Rayudu is a brilliant batsman who carries a lot of promise and can prove to be an important multiplier pick at just 8.5 credits.
Deepak Chahar: Deepak is very impressive in his wicket taking abilities. He is available for just 8.5 credits.
