Rahul has been the cornerstone of KXIP batting line-up ever since he joined the franchise in 2018. This time, however, the Karnataka-born cricketer will have an added responsibility of captaincy. Nevertheless, the dasher has established himself as the mainstay of India’s limited-overs side in the past year, and the experience will certainly come handy.

Apart from skipper Rahul, KXIP also have the services of Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Jimmy Neesham and Mohammed Shami who are the proven starts of T20 format and all opposition teams must be aware of the fact. However, the pitches in UAE are known to favour the spinners and the boundaries are also on the larger side. Hence, all the teams will tackle a different challenge.

As of now, KXIP have reached their new den Dubai and players will try to get in the groove as soon as possible.
