Info: 

• Sanju Samson has been top notch for RR and scored over 500 runs for the first time in IPL season. He can be backed as top batter. Yuzvendra Chahal has been the biggest match winner for RR this year with the ball, taking 17 wickets. Back him as top bowler.
• With No Phil Salt, Rahmanullah Gurbaz will play for KKR. He is a destructive batter and will be keen to make an immediate impact. Back him as KKR top batter. Varun Chakravarthy has taken 18 wickets this season for KKR. Back him as a top KKR bowler.
• KKR have been given the license to go berserk from ball one. They have the best run rate in the powerplay along with SRH. We feel KKR could score over 90 runs in the powerplay if they don’t lose a wicket early.

Pitch Report:

RR could score only 144-9 in their previous game against PBKS at the Barsapara Stadium. There was turn on offer for the spinners. If the wicket plays the same way, it could be hard going for the batters again. A score of 180 should be par.

Team NEWS: 

RR Team News: 

Rajasthan Royals played Tom Kohler-Cadmore in Jos Buttler’s absence but he struggled a lot. RR could get Shimron Hetmyer back in the playing XI, replacing Cadmore. If Hetmyer is not available due to injury, Donovan Ferreria can be used.

KKR Team News: 

KKR will miss the services of Phil Salt who has left for the UK. He should be replaced by Rahmanullah Gurbaz. KKR won’t be keen on making too many changes in the winning combination even though they have secured a top two finish.

Winning Chances: 

Rajasthan Royals have lost the last four games on the trot and it does come as a surprise because they have a very strong team at disposal. The Royals have already played a game in Guwahati and their familiarity with the conditions should be a big boost for RR ahead of the game against KKR. The match is between two equal teams and there is very little to choose in terms of better team on paper. We are backing RR to win the game.

Rajasthan Royals to beat Kolkata Knight Riders

Rajasthan Royals a 36% chance to win this match 

Kolkata Knight Riders a 64% chance to win this match 

Key Players: 

Rajasthan Royals 

Sanju Samson 

Sanju Samson has been outstanding for RR in IPL 2024 season. He has delivered his best performance in IPL in terms of runs this year, with 504 runs in 13 games. Samson would love to make it a special IPL by winning the title and for that he needs to keep form and continue scoring runs for the team.

Riyan Parag 

Parag has been equally outstanding. He is the leading run scorer for Rajasthan Royals this season, with 531 runs to his name. Coming in at tough situations, Parag has scored crucial runs for the team and bailed them out of trouble and put the team on brink of a win.

Trent Boult 

Boult has not taken many wickets this season but his experience and skills will be vital for RR. Also, he has done well with the new ball and if he can knock out a few top order batters for KKR, RR will be on top in the match.

Yuzvendra Chahal 

Yuzvendra Chahal will be vital for RR. He has enjoyed a great run with the ball this year, taking 17 wickets. Every time Samson has needed a wicket, he has turned to Chahal and he has not disappointed.

RR Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Nandre Burger, Tanush Kotian, Keshav Maharaj, Kuldeep Sen, Tom Kohler-Cadmore 

RR could use Cadmore as an impact player if they want to give him another shot but that is unlikely. They will mostly use a bowler, probably Keshav Maharaj as impact player in next game.

Kolkata Knight Riders 

Rahmanullah Gurbaz 

Gurbaz was kept out of the playing XI as Phil Salt performed well for the side. However, with Salt gone, Gurbaz has a chance to prove his mettle. He is also an equally destructive batter and can decimate a bowling attack.

Sunil Narine 

Sunil Narine has played a massive role in KKR’s juggernaut this season. He has scored 461 runs in the tournament and took 15 wickets at a remarkable economy of less than seven.

Andre Russell 

Andre Russell has also been significant to KKR’s outstanding run this season. Russell has delivered exceptional show with the bat as well as the ball, scoring 222 runs and taking 15 wickets.

Varun Chakravarthy 

Varun Chakravarthy is the highest wicket-taker for KKR this season. He has spun the web around opposition teams and accounted for 18 wickets at an economy of 8.3.

KKR Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Angkrish Raghuwanshi, Suyash Sharma, Manish Pandey, Ankul Roy, Vaibhav Arora 

Angkrish Raghuvanshi can be used if KKR need a better else Vaibhav Arora should be a good option as bowling Impact player.

Team Forms: 

RR Team Form: 

RR played excellent cricket throughout the season but lost a few close game recently. The team is winless in last four games.

KKR Team Form: 

KKR were outstanding in the league stage and won nine out of the 13 games. They will end the league stage as table toppers for the first time in history.
