Eden Gardens Stadium Analysis 

At Eden Gardens, one may anticipate a high-scoring contest. However, it would also depend on the surface on which the game is to be played. A ground that is spin-friendly will be sought after by KKR in order to support their three excellent spinners but the home curators have denied them this opportunity and instead make a neutral pitch. 

KKR vs RR: Top Three Players You Can pick in your fantasy Team

Sunil Narine 

For KKR in the IPL 2024, Sunil Narine has been a revelation. Narine was unfortunate to be run out in the first game and was also removed early in the second game played at Eden Gardens. Thus, Narine will try to exploit a pitch that is batting-friendly at Eden Gardens this time. Choose Narine if your fantasy XI is going to be KKR-heavy.

Phil Salt 

Phil Salt Along with Narine has been the most effective for KKR giving them the headstarts they missed in the previous season. 

Phil Salt is loving the Eden Gardens Surface having scored two consecutive half-centuries at this surface. 

Sanju Samson 

This season, the skipper of the Rajasthan Royals has been outstanding, ranking second in the team’s run total. Samson’s constant play makes him an invaluable addition to fantasy teams. This surface will suit his batting. 

Sanju Samson and Phill Salt are good picks for captaincy and vice-captaincy in your team.
