50th match for Shubman Gill in IPL
KKR opening batsman Shubman Gill, who has shown that he is in top-notch form and has recovered from the injury in the first game against RCB, will be playing his 50th IPL match against Mumbai Indians on Thursday. Gill started playing in IPL in 2018 and has played just for KKR in these three years.
Sunil Narine inching towards 1000 IPL runs
Mystery spinner Sunil Narine has shown that he is in good form with the ball but he will want to make an impact with the bat as well. He is not opening the innings for KKR as he used to do in past seasons. But he will surely be promoted in the middle order as a pinch hitter. Narine is just 98 runs away from scoring 1000 IPL runs.
