KKR vs RR Match Preview
KKR will be disappointed with the way the tournament has gone for them. They are on a five-match losing streak and need to win all their games to make it to the playoffs. Rajasthan, on the other hand, have played nine games and won six of them. They are currently placed second on the points table. RR have one of the best bowling lineups in the tournament and the bowlers have played an important role in RR’s juggernaut. It won’t be easy for KKR batters against the likes of Chahal, Ashwin and Boult.

Batters
