TW vs KK: Probable Best Performers of the Match Probable Best Batter: Lekhaz Reddy

Lekhaz Reddy has been KK's second-highest run-scorer this season, with 217 runs to his name from six matches at an average of 54.25.

However, it is his strike-rate that sets him apart from the rest. The right-handed batter scores at 192.04, making him a dangerous prospect with the bat. 

Probable Best Bowler: S Ashish

S Ashish is still the tournament's leading wicket-taker and a vital member for the Kings as they look to finish the group stage on a high note. He has taken 13 wickets from six matches at an economy rate of just 7.51, the lowest amongst the top 12 highest wicket-takers.
