Rishab Pant is batting well in the middle-order but is taking too much pressure as a captain, affecting his performance, but he scored a fifty in the last match. Hetmyer batted exceptionally well, scoring a half-century from just 25 balls, and almost won the game for the team. Marcus Stoinis has also been performing well with the bat this season.

The bowlers have done a decent job so far as they have never allowed any opposition to score runs freely. Avesh Khan has been the consistent wicket-taker of the team. Kagiso Rabada is also bowling well but has not been up to the mark. The spin duo Amit Mishra and Axar Patel have been bowling well by picking up wickets.

At No.3, Rahul Tripathi has put up some outstanding performances, provided good stability to the team, and missed fifty by nine runs in the last match.

KKR has made Sunil Narine bat in the middle-order, which has not worked in their favor as he got out without scoring much in every match. Finally, Eoin Morgan batted well this season in the last game by scoring 47 runs. Andre Russell and Dinesh Karthik have put up a couple of good performances so far in this season. Pat Cummins has also been in decent form with the bat.

The bowling department was brilliant in the last match compared to the earlier games. Chakravarthy has picked up wickets consistently so far. Prasidh Krishna bowled excellently, picking up three wickets, and Pat Cummins and Sunil Narine managed to pick up two wickets each.
