An out of form Rajasthan Royals (RR) meet table toppers Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Guwahati on Sunday evening in a clash that concludes the league stage of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. (Preview | Key Battles | Full Coverage)
Sanju Samson-led RR spent most of the season at the top losing just once in their first nine games. However, they enter this game on the back of four consecutive losses. If SRH win earlier in the day, then a loss on Sunday would push RR out of the top 2.
KKR are assured of finishing the league stage as the leaders. The Shreyas Iyer-led side is on a five-match unbeaten run and would love to extend it to six before going into the playoffs where they are assured of getting two chances to get into the final.
