IPL 2022, KKR Predicted XI vs GT: Will Pat Cummins Retain His Place In The Team?

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will look to get their season back on track when they face Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 35 of IPL 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. KKR are on a three-game losing streak, and their bowling has been quite inconsistent. Their top-order has also failed to fire on most of the occasions, but Aaron Finch and skipper Shreyas Iyer's performance in the previous game will certainly be a morale booster. Pat Cummins has been under the scanner for his death bowling, and his place in the team could be in danger.

Venkatesh Iyer: Promoting Sunil Narine at the top of the order did not work in the last game. Venkatesh Iyer is likely to open the innings with Finch this time.

Shreyas Iyer: The KKR skipper led from the front but could not take his team to victory. He scored 85 off just 51 balls, but he would've hoped to get the job done for his team.Nitish Rana: The southpaw has been in good form for the franchise this season. He, however, failed to get runs for his team in the previous match.

Andre Russell: The West Indian all-rounder has scored 179 runs so far in 7 IPL 2022 games averaging 44.75, but was dismissed for a first-ball duck in the previous match. Russell will look to perform better in the next match.

Sheldon Jackson: The wicketkeeper-batter has failed to impress with the bat so far this season. The management, however, is unlikely to drop him just yet.

Pat Cummins: The Australian pacer is likely to retain his place, despite leaking too many
