Current form for KKR: L W W L L
KKR have lost their last two matches and they would want to return to the winning ways. The two-time champions have a deep batting order and they would want to make good use of the game. They had sent Sunil Narine at the top of the order against SRH but the move didn’t come off.
Current form for RR: W W L W L
Rajasthan Royals had lost their last game against Gujarat Titans by a big margin of 37 runs and they will also look to bounce back stronger.
