Rajasthan Royals will take on Kolkata Knight Riders today. Royals are currently on top of the table whereas, the Knight Riders are at the seventh position. However, they have managed to win their last match and are looking in good touch.
Shubman Gill was the star performer in the last match, the young opener had an unbeaten 70 in the last match.
Sanju Samson, Steve Smith has done well in both the matches for the Royals and they will hold the key here as well.
Rahul Tewatia and Jofra Archer has been effective in both fronts and once again will be the players to watch out for.
Dinesh Karthik and Nitish Rana will be the key in the middle-order for KKR. Sunil Narine’s weakness against the short balls is pretty evident now and the team might rethink the decision to open with him.
Jos Buttler had a poor outing in his first match and will look to turn things around.
Considering the fact that this is a big ground, the bowlers will have something too unlike the other two pitches where RR played before.
Team-
Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Shubman Gill, Robin Uthappa, Steve Smith, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Rahul Tewatia, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakravarthy, Ankit Rajpoot
