The inaugural champions have won three matches out of the five they have played whereas KKR has won three and lost as many in the ongoing season.

We take a look at Picks for the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals. We will look at head-to-head records, stats, and players to look out for in the upcoming match.

Current form for KKR: L W W L L

KKR have lost their last two matches and they would want to return to the winning ways. The two-time champions have a deep batting order and they would want to make good use of the game. They had sent Sunil Narine at the top of the order against SRH but the move didn’t come off.

Current form for RR: W W L W L

Rajasthan Royals had lost their last game against Gujarat Titans by a big margin of 37 runs and they will also look to bounce back stronger. The Sanju Samson-led team has a potent bowling line-up but they need to come up with a collective effort. They definitely missed the services of Trent Boult in their last game whereas Jos Buttler is doing the lion’s share of the scoring.
