In match 18 of Vivo IPL 2021, Rajasthan Royals will take on the Knight Riders from Kolkata. Both teams are languishing at the bottom of the points and would be desperate for a win.
KKR have not performed as poorly as the numbers might suggest. They have actually found ways of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. However, the fight they put up in their last game against CSK while chasing 221 was commendable. The team needs its bowlers to deliver a better performance, especially at the death.
RR on the other hand has a plenty of issues to address. After Ben Stokes, Liam Livingstone has also been ruled out of the 14th edition of Vivo IPL. The team needs its top order to score big. RR's bowling line-up was also brutally thrashed by RCB openers in their last game.
