Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Team Preview
Kolkata Knight Riders
The Kolkata Knight Riders are on a roll and will fancy their chances against an out-of-form Rajasthan Royals at Eden Gardens.
With Kolkata having their finest run of form in the championship, it was no surprise to see Nitish Rana head the same XI as in the last game on Monday. We anticipate no changes to the squad because this match will be played at the same location.
Rajasthan Royals
Although the results have been disappointing for the RR, they scored 214 runs and took six wickets in their last encounter. They appeared to be improving their form, and they will be confident against the KKR.
Former England Test captain Joe Root made his maiden Rajasthan Royals outing and his first IPL appearance in Sunday’s loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), looking to break a run of two consecutive defeats. Trent Boult missed out due to a niggle, but he should be available for this encounter.
