Although showing promise, Shivam Mavi had a wicketless outing against CSK. With Tim Southee available, he will bring in a lot of experience besides batting depth. The bowling did well in the opener against Chennai Super Kings, restricting the defending champions to just 131 with Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine all delivering the goods.
Shivam Mavi struggled in the death with Tim Southee making a comeback to KKR Playing XI.

As far as the batting is concerned, Ajinkya Rahane scored a fine 44 to nail his place at the top of the order, with Venkatesh Iyer for company. Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer and Sam Billings all played valuable cameos in the opener and should make up the middle order with Andre Russell and Sunil Narine in as finishers.
Sheldon Jackson starred with his excellent keeping against CSK and should feature, though KKR could debate the possibility of an extra bowler, especially with Billings in the side.
KKR Full Squad: Retained: Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarthy, Venkatesh Iyer, Sunil Narine, Auction picks: Shreyas Iyer (C), Pat Cummins, Nitish Rana, Shivam Mavi, Sheldon Jackson, Ajinkya Rahane, Rinku Singh, Anukul Roy, Rasikh Dar, Chamika Karunaratne, Baba Indrajith, Ashok Sharma, Pratham Singh, Abhijeet Tomar, Sam Billings, Alex Hales, Ramesh Kumar, Mohammed Nabi, Aman Khan, Umesh Yadav.
