KKR vs RR Match Preview

In the 53rd IPL match, Kolkata Knight Riders will face Rajasthan Royals at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. KKR made their comeback by defeating DC by a close margin of 14 runs, keeping their playoff hopes alive. On the other hand, RR became the second team after CSK to be eliminated from the tournament, ending their hopes of winning another IPL trophy, as MI handed them a 100-run defeat.

So it will be interesting to see which team emerges victorious in the next match, as it is more essential for KKR to win this match in order to compete for a playoff spot, but Rajasthan Royals will undoubtedly try to end their winning streak in the next match. Looking at the first leg between these two teams, Kolkata Knight Riders comfortably beat RR by 8 wickets and took the lead in this head-to-head battle.

So, in today's match, RR will try to equalize the score and finish the season on a positive note by winning the remaining matches, whereas Ajinkya Rahane's KKR will go above and beyond to win this match and, most importantly, earn two points.

Hot Picks for Dream11 Prediction Today Match

Captaincy Picks

Sunil Narine

• He is the most prolific all-rounder for KKR, having performed brilliantly with both bat and ball at critical moments.
• He can give quick starts and take full advantage of the power play with the bat, as well as provide significant breakthroughs with the ball in the middle overs for his team.
• He has many years of playing in T20 leagues, which could help KKR win their next match against RR.

Riyan Parag

• He is the kind of player who always attacks bowlers, regardless of the situation, and always trusts his hard-hitting ability.
• He can easily clear the ball to the boundary, and his cheeky shot selection can help his team score some quick runs in the middle overs as well.
• Also, as an all-rounder, he can contribute as a right-arm off-spinner, as he showed in the previous match against MI, when he sent MI's big fish Rohit Sharma to the dugout, which could provide RR with an extra bowling option.

KKR vs RR Budget Picks

Vaibhav Arora

• He impressed everyone with his recent bowling performances.
• He can swing the ball in the early overs and bowl accurate yorker and slower balls that can deceive batters while trying to hit the ball hard.
• As a right-arm pacer, he is one of KKR's reliable death bowlers who can make a major impact as an impact player.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi

• He had already proven his worth and abilities in the world's toughest league when he played a historic knock against GT and scored one of the fastest centuries at the age of 14.
• However, in an earlier match against MI's quality bowling attack, he was unable to provide the start he desired.
• However, knowing his batting abilities from previous matches, he is the obvious choice for the top budget pick from RR in the next match.

Differential Picks

Ajinkya Rahane

• He is KKR's most consistent batter this season, and he has always stood up for his team in difficult situations.
• His playing style of slowly building the inning and then taking charge against the bowlers has worked well for him this season in the IPL.
• Rahane's role in KKR's next match, as captain and one of his team's most experienced batters, has the potential to change the outcome because of his leadership and batting abilities.

Yashasvi Jaiswal

• Jaiswal is the only RR batter who consistently performs for his team.
• In almost every match, he gave his team a quick start by attacking every bowler he faced and putting opponents under pressure in the early stages of the innings.
• So, if RR wants to win this match, Jaiswal must perform well against KKR's bowling lineup, as he is his team's only in-form and prolific batter this season.
