KXIP VS RR Match Preview:

Kings XI Punjab batting lineup is in terrific form this season. Mandeep Singh has also joined the party of run-scorers in the team. Chris Gayle has been a game-changer for Punjab and he will continue to be the key batsman for them this season. Mayank Agarwal, if available, might replace Deepak Hooda to make the batting more strong in this match. 

The bowlers have been disciplined for most of the season so far. Ravi Bishnoi and Murugan Ashwin have been impressive during the middle overs. Mohammed Shami has led the bowling line up well so far. 

Rajasthan Royals had a big boost of confidence in the last match against MI after Ben Stokes and Sanju Samson won them the game. If Jos Buttler and Steve Smith click in this match, it could be hard to stop the run flow.

The bowlers had a good outing for most of the innings. They still need to work on their death overs bowling which was expensive in the last match. Shreyas Gopal has been an impactful bowler during the middle overs. 

Both the teams are very much in the race of playoffs and will come all guns blazing to keep their hope alive in this match.
