For Rajasthan Royals too, it is doing to be a do-or-die match as a win in this match would keep their chances of reaching to the playoffs alive while a loss would push them backwards.

A dip in form, a matter of concern for the KKR

Dinesh Karthik has faced some severe backlash for the underperformance. Kolkata Knight Riders started their campaign on a positive note and posted four wins in their five games. However, their performance witnessed a dip and the team is placed on the sixth position with losses in their ten games.

Rajasthan Royals look to up the ante

Ajinkya Rahane blasted a century to take his team to a total of 191 in their allotted overs. Skipper Steve Smith also scored a half-century to stabilize the innings. However, Ajinkya Rahane’s ton went in vain as Pant’s knock helped the Delhi Capitals to claw back into the game and win it. The Rajasthan Royals would collect all the positives from their last game before travelling to Kolkata to take on their opponents.
