KKR vs RR, Wankhede Stadium. It looks like this game is going to be a run-fest. Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals have enough hitters to make it possible. If Umesh Yadav gets Jos Buttler early in the inning, KKR will be ahead of RR. If RR wins this game, they will jump to the second position on the points table.
KKR has an answer to the RR's big hitters. Mavi for Samson and Umesh for Buttler. Narine is still a better bowling option than Cummins and Varun. But the stats are not in favor of KKR. They have extremely poor win percentage here at Wankhede. Shreyas, Rana and Indrajith must perform to seal the victory. KKR has lost last five of their matches. They will be looking to break the losing streak tonight.
With Riyan Parag back in form, RR's batting is looking even stronger. Ravi Ashwin is playing like a true floater all-rounder these days. Majority of batting is dependent on Buttler, Samson and Hetmyer. Prasidh Krishna and Yuzi Chahal will be most crucial bowlers for RR.
