Both Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders are eyeing to get back on the winning track after losing their previous games. This should make the upcoming encounter between them a cracker of a contest on 18 April. The exciting fixture will take place at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium.
In their last match, Rajasthan Royals were defeated by the Gujarat Titans, after their batting unit failed to chase down 193 runs. Their bowlers, including Yuzvendra Chahal, had a rare off-day in their last outing. Sanju Samson needs to bring some consistency back into his side, especially as far as batting is concerned. Barring Jos Buttler and Shimron Hetmyer, none of their batters clicked in the last match.
As for KKR, barring Nitish Rana and Andre Russell, none of their batters did well in the previous game. The Shreyas Iyer-led side needs to put in a lot more effort when they face RR’s formidable bowling attack. Kolkata’s bowlers too need to step up and make their presence felt once again.
