KKR vs RR Match Prediction : As many as 42 matches have been completed and perhaps, the days have passed like a whisker. It’s been full of entertainment as we are heading to the latter part of the event.
Kolkata Knight Riders will host Rajasthan Royals in the 43rd match of Indian Premier League on Thursday. A team languishing at the bottom of the table, Rajasthan Royals have suddenly sparked some hopes for their fans when they registered their third win in the tournament, beating Rajasthan in their ninth match of the tournament. While Kolkata Knight Riders have only seen a decline in the performance as the tournament progressed.
Kolkata Knight Riders
kkr vs RR Match predictions ; After losing their last game against Sunrises Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders have now played ten matches in the tournament. What started off brilliantly, KRR victories have been put to a halt for some time.
The only positive for the side has been Andre Russel’s performance. West Indies spinner Sunil Narine perhaps doesn’t seem to as effective as he once was. Chris Lynn has had a decent tournament so far but what has been more disappointing is KKR mainstays Robin Uthappa and Dinesh Karthik’s poor run in the tournament.
For Kolkata Knight Riders to turn the fortunes around, players with the likes of Chris Lynn, Robin Uthappa, and Dinesh Karthik have to take responsibility to anchor the innings when they will meet Rajasthan Royals on Thursday.
Rajasthan Royals
KKR vs RR match predictions: Rajasthan Royals might have lost their last match against Delhi Capitals, but the way Steve Smith’s side have played in their last two matches, one thing is for sure, Kolkata Knight Riders will have to play their skins off in order to get back into winning ways.
Although only four matches have been left for RR to create an impact in the tournament, Rahane’s century in the last game must have given the team immense confidence heading into their next game at Eden Gardens.
Without a doubt, Australian batsman Steve Smith along with Ajinkya Rahane and Sanju Samson will be the key players for Rajasthan Royals ahead of the game against KKR on Thursday.
Perhaps, the onus will be on Jofra Archer and Shreyas Gopal once again to pick wickets in the bowling department.
