Varun Chakravarthy: KKR's real strength lies in their spin attack featuring mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who has the ability to stifle the opposition's batting even on good wickets. Chakravarthy would be one of the key players for KKR who'd hope that the spinner continues his great run in the IPL.

Trent Boult: Jasprit Bumrah's absence will prevent Mumbai Indians from unleashing their desired new ball attack. However, the five-time IPL winners still have veteran New Zealand bowler Trent Boult, who can share the responsibility of the pace attack. Boult’s searing yorker and swing bowling can trigger a collapse in any team.

Harshit Rana: With his high point release, pace, and the ability to move the ball off the pitch, Harshit Rana can be a handful for the MI batters.

Sunil Narine: Veteran all-rounder Sunil Narine has recovered from illness and is available for the clash against Mumbai Indians. His potential comeback will keep KKR excited given the role he has played for the three-time winners in IPL.

Mitchell Santner: Santner is the quintessential left-arm spinner, relying on flight, drift, and precision. His ability to change pace and control length makes him a bowler who can both attack and defend, often tying down batters with his subtle variations.
