Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Predictions
The Knight Riders are looking for their first win after a disappointing loss to RCB. They are looking stronger than the Royals, whose bowlers were smashed by the Sunrisers’ top order for the second-highest innings score in IPL history, by just one run.
- Kolkata Knight Riders’ Ajinkya Rahane hit four sixes and six fours in his score of 56 against RCB.
- Kolkata Knight Riders’ Sunil Narine scored 44 off 26 balls against RCB.
- Rajasthan Royals’ Sanju Samson scored 66 off 37 balls in their opener against Sunrisers.

Head-to-Head
The Royals have won three of their four matches against the Knight Riders, including the last two on the bounce.
Rajasthan Royals Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad mauled the Royals attack in their opening match of the season, scoring the second-highest score in IPL history (one run short of their own record).
Sunrisers piled on a staggering 286/6 off their 20 overs. Tushar Deshpande picked up 3/44 at 11.00 per over (the second most economical figures of the innings).
Sanju Samson (66) and Dhruv Jurel (70) led a superb run chase but the Royals couldn’t maintain the asking rate, ending on an impressive 242/6 off their 20 overs.
Rajasthan Royals Team News
The Royals have found good batting form, but they will be wanting their bowlers to produce a tighter bowling display.
Kolkata Knight Riders Form
The Knight Riders lost their opener to RCB after failing to fire in their last seven overs.
Sunil Narine (44 off 26 balls) and Ajinkya Rahane (56 off 31) added 103 for the second wicket by the halfway mark before falling within four balls of each other. The middle-order struggled to score against tight RCB bowling, ending on 174/8 off their 20 overs.
RCB chased down their target for the loss of just three wickets with 22 balls in hand.
Kolkata Knight Riders Team News
The Knight Riders need the rest of their batters to step up to the plate, along with their bowlers, if they hope to find winning form.
Verdict
I am backing Kolkata Knight Riders to win. I am also backing Ajinkya Rahane to top score for Kolkata Knight Riders.
Sanju Samson is a good bet to top score for the Rajasthan Royals.
