Team News
With five defeats on the trot, time is running out for Kolkata Knight Riders. It looks like the two-time champions are running against the tide. And hampering their cause is frequent chopping and changing as admitted by skipper Shreyas Iyer. KKR will quickly need to find their best playing XI before it becomes too late. They are eighth in the IPL 2022 points table.
Rajasthan Royals have done well so far. Having won six in nine matches, they are primed for a top-four finish. But skipper Samjo Samson would be worried about the manner in which they had capitulated against Mumbai Indians in their previous meeting.
Key Players
Kolkata Knight Riders: With Venkatesh Iyer struggling, the onus will be once again on skipper Shreyas Iyer to hold firm and score runs. He is also the leading scorer for the team with 290 runs. Umesh Yadav continues to shoulder the bowling burden. He has 14 wickets so far.
Rajasthan Royals: Jos Buttler will eye a fourth century. In the last match, he scored 67. He is the leading scorer in IPL 2022 with 566 runs. Yuzvendra Chahal will look to repeat his heroics which helped RR beat KKR in their previous meeting.
Head-to-head
Kolkata Knight Riders lead Rajasthan Royals 13-12 in the head-to-head records. There were two tied matches, both won by the Royals.
Earlier this season, Rajasthan Royals beat Kolkata Knight Riders by seven runs in a Brabourne thriller. Jos Buttler scored 103 to power RR to 217/5, then Yuzvendra Chahal claimed a fifer, including a hat-trick.
Venue And Pitch
This will be the 14th match at Wankhede Stadium. The first four matches were won by chasing teams, and the next five were won by teams batting first. On Sunday, Lucknow Super Giants set a 196-run target after electing to bat first here.
Both the teams have won two and lost one at Wankhede this season.
