Preview :

Kolkata Knight Riders will be squaring off against Rajasthan Royals for the second time in the forty-seventh match of this season of the Tata IPL.

Kolkata Knight Riders are currently placed at the eighth position on the points table of this season of the Tata IPL whereas Rajasthan Royals is currently placed at the second spot on the points table.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have made a mess of their campaign in the ongoing IPL 2022. They started off pretty well with three wins in the first four matches and were reckoned as the team to beat in the tournament. However, their downfall began after Delhi Capitals hammered them in a high scoring contest and exposed their batting unit.

KKR is on a five-match losing streak currently and would be hoping to bounce back with a win against Rajasthan Royals in its next assignment.

Royals themselves will be licking their wounds a little after becoming Mumbai Indians’ first victim of the season. They have had a terrific campaign so far led by the likes of Jos Buttler, Yuzvendra Chahal and R Ashwin, but a 10-team league means that even a 6-3 record does not mean a top two spot – or place in the playoffs for that matter – is set in stone. The positive is that they have the opportunity to bounce back quickly, and they need to do so if they have visions of finishing in the top two.

For KKR, the stakes are far more desperate than that. At time of writing (before the CSK-SRH match), they sit four points outside the top four having played an extra game than fourth-placed SRH. They are in total freefall at the moment, with too much reliance on the likes of Shreyas Iyer and Andre Russell with the bat. If this continues, they will surely kiss their fading playoffs’ hopes goodbye sooner rather than later.
