KKR vs LSG: Top 5 Dream11 fantasy picks for match 15 of IPL 2026

The KKR vs LSG match of the IPL 2026 will be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are scheduled to face each other in the next game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 in Kolkata. This contest will be played on Thursday at Eden Gardens.

KKR have one point in three games, which they earned after a washed-out game against Punjab Kings. LSG have one win and one defeat under their belts. These two teams have a strong top order and some good wicket-taking options.

That is where fans can make a good Dream11 team on the fantasy platform. There are several options to choose from.

Hence, we have suggested five players from KKR vs LSG clash who could be a great choice for your Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Top Dream11 fantasy picks for the KKR vs LSG clash

1. Angkrish Raghuvanshi

51, 52, and 7* are three scores Angkrish Raghuvanshi has recorded in the IPL 2026 so far. Unlike other KKR batters, the 21-year-old has looked more composed on the crease and has played well under pressure.

KKR have invested a few seasons in him, and they are getting the return now. Angkrish also keeps the wickets and can earn more fantasy points behind the wickets.

2. Finn Allen

An opener is always a good choice on a fantasy platform. Finn Allen is someone you must have on your team. He deals mainly in sixes and fours, which is his real strength.

On his day, Allen can win games single-handedly. KKR have brought him in to tear apart the opposition’s bowling plans, which is why he is a must-pick for your Dream11 side.

3. Rishabh Pant

LSG vs DC: Why did Rishabh Pant open instead of Aiden Markram in IPL 2026?

After an unlucky runout at non-striker’s end, Rishabh Pant carried his team over the line in the last game. He scored an unbeaten half-century and played a vital part in the win against SRH. His form is very crucial for LSG. Pant bats in the top order.

Additionally, Pant is the keeper and has already taken three catches (8 points per catch) this season. He can also be a good captaincy option on fantasy platforms.

4. Aiden Markram

Before Pant’s fifty against SRH, it was Aiden Markram, who set the tone for the win, with a fluent 45 off 27 balls. The South African T20 captain has been in very good batting form and used to give good and quick starts to the team.

His form will be key for this game. Not to forget, he is a handy off-spinner and can be effective at Eden Gardens.

5. Ajinkya Rahane

Ajinkya Rahane will be under a lot of pressure going into this game. But with an experience of 201 IPL games, the KKR fans will expect him to come good in this crucial contest.

He has already shown his form with a blistering 67-run knock against MI, and we think he will be determined to deliver another important knock in this game. So, you can have him in your Dream11 team as well.
