RR vs KKR Stats Preview

Rajasthan Royals’ performance has been abysmal in the tournament so far. They have lost three of the four matches and in the last match suffered a 10 wickets hammering from Royal Challengers Bangalore. First of all they are missing couple of good players like Stokes and Archer due to injuries and secondly their top order batsmen Jos Buttler and Manan Vohra are struggling for form and captain Sanju Samson too hasn’t scored anything since his hundred in first match. In the lower order Shivam Dube, Riyan Parag and Rahul Tewatia need to be more consistent. In bowling Chris Morris, Mustafizur Rahman and Shreyas Gopal have to do much better else Royals can struggle through out the season.
On the other side, Kolkata Knight Riders is also going through a poor phase. Their bowling has been poor. The duo of Prasidh Krishna and Pat Cummins are struggling and they somehow need to play Lockie Ferguson to strengthen their death overs bowling and in batting Shuman Gill has to score big runs in opening and captain Eoin Morgan who has been poor so far, needs to lead from front and all rounder Andre Russell should be promoted in the batting order.
