Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have an outside chance of making it to playoffs, while Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will see a top-four finish with a win. Both franchises are meeting for the first time this season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The IPL match 68 will take place at Eden Gardens Stadium, Kolkata, on Saturday at 7:30 PM.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>KKR vs LSG | Preview | Team Analysis &amp; Squad Details<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s closely examine KKR vs LSG &#8211; team analysis, squad, head-to-head record, and prediction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KKR must win by a big margin to keep their playoff hopes alive. But for that, the top order has to fire on all cylinders. Against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their last game, Jason Roy, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and Venkatesh Iyer perished before the powerplay. Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh are reliable batters, but the top three must lay a solid platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Varun Chakravarthy, Suyash Sharma, and Sunil Narine are the key figures in KKR&#8217;s bowling department. Varun and Narine were impressive at Chepauk, which had plenty of assistance for slow bowlers. However, batters have the advantage on the Eden Gardens track. It would mean the uncapped pace trio &#8211; Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana &#8211; and Shardul Thakur should deliver.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>KKR Squad<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nitish Rana (captain)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mandeep Singh<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Umesh Yadav<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venkatesh Iyer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shardul Thakur<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suyash Sharma<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jason Roy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kulwant Khejroliya<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rinku Singh<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harshit Rana<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Narayan Jagadeesan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaibhav Arora<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anukul Roy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lockie Ferguson<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tim Southee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Litton Das<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Wiese<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunil Narine<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andre Russell\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rahmanullah Gurbaz<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Varun Chakravarthy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aarya Desai<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quinton de Kock and Kyle Mayers opening the batting is a massive headache for any bowling lineup. The duo will hope to boss the bowlers in the powerplay and provide a perfect platform for Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran from where they can unleash themselves. LSG think-tank will be delighted that Prerak Mankad, who replaced Deepak Hooda, made his opportunity count with an excellent half-century against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LSG&#8217;s bowling unit lacks an experienced player. With Mark Wood missing, the domestic pacers, led by Avesh Khan, have their task cut out. Yudhvir Singh impressed against SRH, picking up a wicket early in the match. The spin department has stand-in captain Krunal Pandya and young Ravi Bishnoi.
