Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) travel to Eden Gardens on Sunday afternoon to take on Shreyas Iyer’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match number 28 of the IPL 2024 season.
KKR began their campaign in style, winning three matches in a row including a chase of 186 inside 17 overs and a total of 272. They lost their most recent fixture against Chennai Super Kings on a tricky wicket, but will look to get back to winning ways at home against LSG.
Lucknow have also been solid so far. While they have issues to iron out, three wins from five matches is undoubtedly a respectable record. They are also coming off a loss, as Delhi Capitals beat them six wickets on Friday.
With this exciting clash coming up and both teams hungry for a win, The Sporting News takes a look at the Fantasy XI for the game along with some players who could potentially be the difference makers for either team.

Top fantasy picks and tips for KKR vs LSG
Batter: Angkrish Raghuvanshi
He has played just two innings in the IPL so far, but 18-year-old Angkrish Raghuvanshi has already shown glimpses of his immense talent. His blistering 54 (27) on debut was followed up a short but sweet 24 on a difficult pitch in Chennai. Expect him to showcase his shots again, in a home match for the first time.
Bowler: Ravi Bishnoi
The lead spinner spot in India’s T20 World Cup squad is up for grabs, and Ravi Bishnoi has done himself no harm with his performances in the IPL so far. While he has taken only four wickets so far, Bishnoi looked to be returning to his best form in LSG’s last match against Delhi Capitals, picking up 2/25.
All-rounder: Sunil Narine
The pinch-hitting opener for KKR in the form of Sunil Narine has returned this season, and has been a massive boost for the side. With returns so far of 2 & 1/19, 47 & 1/40, 85 & 1/29 and 27 & 1/30 this has perhaps been his best IPL campaign in an all-round capacity. If he gets going with the bat, KKR could finish matches off just in the Powerplay.
Wicketkeeper: Nicholas Pooran
For a side that stays out of the limelight, LSG do possess a box-office player in Nicholas Pooran. The left-hander was undone a Kuldeep Yadav special in their last match but apart from that has been near-flawless. 64*(41), 42 (21), 40*(21) and 32*(22) including 15 sixes is about as good as it gets from a finisher, and he will have an impact more often than not.
