Shreyas Iyer’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be desperate for a win when they clash with Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their upcoming Indian Premier League encounter. The match will take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday, 2 May.
Kolkata Knight Riders come into this match on a five-game losing streak. They lost their last fixture against the Delhi Capitals by four wickets. Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, lost to the Mumbai Indians in their last outing. They would be keen to bounce back and take decisive steps to ensure qualification into the playoffs.
Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals have won six and lost three out of their nine matches this season so far and are looking pretty solid for the playoffs with 12 points under their belt. There are a lot of worries, on the other hand, for the Kolkata Knight Riders as their openers have not gotten off to bright starts. The Kolkata-based franchise needs contributions from other players as well.
