IPL 2021, RR vs KKR, 18th Match Match Preview:

Rajasthan Royals' batting has failed so far this season. None of their star batsmen have been able to contribute to the team's cause. Sanju Samson has been inconsistent while Jos Buttler is not among runs for a long time now. Manan Vohra hasn't done well so far and might get replaced by Yashaswi Jaiswal. 

Chris Morris hasn't been effective with his bowling will continue to lead the inexperienced bowling lineup along with Mustafizur Rahman. Shreyas Gopal might get replaced by Kartik Tyagi in this game. 

Kolkata Knight Riders' top-order collapsed in the last game. However, Nitish Rana and Rahul Tripathi have done well so far in the tournament will remain crucial at the top. All eyes will be on Andre Russell, who showed why he is the most destructive batsman in the T20s in the last game. 

Pat Cummins along with leading the bowling lineup, showed his value as a batsman as well in the previous game. With him coming in the lower order, KKR's batsmen will remain free to play their shots early. Kuldeep Yadav could be tried in place of Varun Chakravarthy in this game. 

Kolkata Knight Riders has dominated the Rajasthan Royals in the past. With both teams wanting to get back to the winning ways, this match could go well down to the wire. KKR is looking favorites to win this game.
