Shashank Singh has demonstrated his ability as a finisher on two occasions. Following his heroics against Gujarat Titans, he nearly led Kings to another unlikely victory in their recent game against SRH. Although Kings narrowly missed out, Shashank proved that his performance against Titans was not a one-off. This season, Kings have maintained a run rate of 11.33 in the death overs, with Shashank making a significant contribution. Is Shashank's strike rate of 195.71, the third-highest for any batter who has faced 35 balls or more in the tournament, enough to warrant a move up the order? Additionally, he has not been dismissed since his first-ball duck against Delhi Capitals in Kings' first game.
Yuzvendra Chahal is on the verge of a historic milestone, as he is just three wickets away from becoming the first bowler in IPL history to reach 200 wickets. He is currently the joint-highest wicket-taker this season, having taken 10 wickets along with Jasprit Bumrah. Chahal has been consistent in every game so far, having taken at least one wicket in each match. Notably, he has taken eight wickets in the middle phase, which is the highest among all bowlers in IPL 2024. Additionally, his economy rate of 7.50 during the middle overs is impressive. Chahal is not afraid to take risks and is often Samson's go-to bowler after the powerplay.
