Kolkata Knight Riders are in the 6th spot in the league table and this is less than ideal for someone who has a roster that boasts of superstars. They have lost the last five games in a row and this not the kind of form needed to win championships. The team has lost all of its confidence and will be looking to get back on track. It appears that they are not going to make the playoffs and it would be a shame for a franchise of their stature.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals are in the second last spot and might be looking to avoid dropping down to the last spot. They will be losing some key players in the coming days which is going to put a dent to the way the team wants to play. Ajinkya Rahane was under immense pressure before and soon enough he will once again be the leader of the franchise. All this has been unjust for the management who have worked really hard to get a strong squad but can’t do anything for these underwhelming performances.
