  • Date – Monday, April 18, 2022
  • Time – 7:30 PM IST
  • Venue – Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai

RR vs KKR Match Preview:

Rajasthan's batting is around four batters - Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikall, and Shimron Hetmyer. Buttler and Hetmyer have been the most consistent of the four. But that's it, that's the batting of the Royals and if any two get set, they won't require the rest of the batters. 

RR missed Trent Boult in the last game and will hope to welcome him back in this game. Yuzvendra Chahal has been consistently picking wickets this season and turning the games for RR. 

Kolkata's batting is a concern. None of the batters have looked threatening. They are banking on individual brilliance to put on a score. Shreyas Iyer will need to step up his game. 

The bowling is doing decently. Sunil Narine has been the key bowler for KKR this season. Kolkata will hope that Umesh gets the new ball to swing for early wickets to fall.
