Rajasthan Royals (RR) are all set for their home match. RR will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at their home. Rahane-led side bounced back in the tournament with back-to-back wins against Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challengers Bangalore after 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad thrashed them in the opener. Despite, this, Royals will be worried about the form of two overseas batsmen -D’Arch Short and all-rounder Ben Stokes. They also have issues with their bowling department with three bowlers Unadkat, Laughlin and Stokes have an economy of close to 11 runs per over which they will look forward to sort out. Here are the probable dream XI for today’s match.
RR: Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, D’Arcy Short, Rahul Tripathi, Ben Stokes, Dhawal Kulkarni, Krishnappa Gawtham, Jaydev Unadkat, Ben Laughlin, Shreyas Gopal
On the other hand, KKR have two wins from four outings. KKR have Lynn and Narine who can open for them and the duo can be aggressive once they get along. But there is no guarantee of them staying for long, especially Narine. Riders will be hoping Nitish Rana, Robin Uthappa and skipper Dinesh Karthik to score big. Rana played outstanding knock against Delhi Daredevils and will probably be KKR’s most crucial batsman. Here we see the probable dream XI of the Knight Riders for today.
KKR: Chris Lynn, Robin Uthappa, Sunil Narine, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik, Shivam Mavi, Piyush Chawla, Mitchell Johnson, Kuldeep Yadav, Tom Curran, Rinku Singh
