This explosive batsman may return to Kolkata, Lucknow will also making changes; See the possible playing 11 of both teams

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face defending champions Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 21st match of the 18th Indian Premier League (IPL). Both teams can bring changes in this match to be conducted at Kolkata's Eden Gardens.

Kolkata can bring a single alteration in this match. The team can give a chance to Afghan explosive batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz in place of wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock. De Kock has scored 103 runs in 4 games so far. But his performance has not been constant. He managed just 1-1 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad along with Mumbai Indians, while 4 runs were scored by him against Royal Challengers Bangalore. But on the other hand, he has played a match-winning score of 97 runs for Rajasthan Royals and played wonderfully.

Lucknow Super Giants' performance has been mixed so far this season. Team captain Rishabh Pant has proved to be a complete flop. At the same time, due to weak bowling, the performance of the team has also not been anything special. LSG has won two of its first four matches. Like Kolkata Knight Riders, the Lucknow team has also won its last match, where they defeated Mumbai Indians by 12 runs. In such a situation, it can be said that both KKR and Lucknow teams have proved to be equally competitive so far this season.

Probable playing 11 of Team Kolkata Knight Riders: Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wicketkeeper), Sunil Narine, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Moeen Ali, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakraborty. 
Impact Player – Vaibhav Arora 

Probable playing 11 of Team Lucknow Super Giants: Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (captain/wicketkeeper), Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Abdul Samad, Shardul Thakur, Akash Deep, Avesh Khan, Digvesh Singh.
