Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be hoping to snap a five-game losing run when they take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 47 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
KKR, being led by ex-Delhi Capitals skipper Shreyas Iyer this season, got off to a promising start with three wins in their first four games. The two-time champions though, have fallen far behind in the points table since that promising start, losing five games in a row including a narrow seven-run loss in a high-scoring thriller against Rajasthan, the side they face on Monday.
Rajasthan themselves are coming on the back of a defeat, suffering a five-wicket loss on Saturday at the hands of Mumbai Indians, who collected their first win of the season in their ninth attempt. Rajasthan were restricted to 158/6 after being asked to bat, with Suryakumar Yadav (51) and N Tilak Varma (35) laying the foundation for the victory with an 81-run third-wicket stand. Mumbai eventually got home with four balls to spare, with all-rounder Tim David providing the finishing touch with an unbeaten 20 off 9 balls.
RR currently are sitting at the third spot on the IPL 2022 table with six wins from nine outings. KKR, on the other hand, are eighth on the table with just six points in nine games, desperately needing a win to keep their hopes of finishing in the top four at the end of the group stage alive.
