RR vs KKR 70th Match Preview
The Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders will play the 70th match of the 2024 Indian Premier League. This is the final fixture before the play-off stage of the tournament. Rajasthan and Kolkata have already qualified for the play-offs. This should be an interesting clash between two title favourites.
HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORD
Rajasthan have three wins to KKR’s two in their last five IPL meetings. Their last three meetings have been won by the team batting first. Kolkata have not beaten the Royals since 2022.
RR VS KKR TEAM PREVIEWS
RAJASTHAN ROYALS
The Rajasthan Royals effectively reached the play-offs on the back of eight wins in nine matches, but have since slipped to four successive defeats. Recent defeats to the Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings have exposed a few shortcomings Rajasthan need to rectify soon.
Their middle order has looked fragile lately and they no longer have Jos Buttler to open the innings. He has left the tournament to prepare for England’s T20 World Cup campaign next month. Tom Kohler-Cadmore is still trying to find his proverbial feet as Buttler’s replacement at the Royals. A lot is riding on Riyan Parag’s role. He is Rajasthan’s top run-scorer this IPL season with 531 in 12 innings.
Yuzvendra Chahal has been the Royals’ most prolific wicket-taker in this year’s IPL. As one of the best leg-spinners in the tournament, Chahal has taken 17 wickets in 13 matches. He has received good support from fast bowlers Avesh Khan and Trent Boult, who have shared 24 wickets.
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS
The Knight Riders have not lost a match since late April 2024, but recently had their stride interrupted by a washout with the Gujarat Titans. Regardless, the Knight Riders are through to the play-offs and remain in pursuit of a third IPL title. The won the tournament in 2012 and 2014.
Kolkata will also be without an England star for the rest of the tournament. Phil Salt, like Buttler, has joined England ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup. KKR still have Sunil Narine at the top of their order. He is their leading run-scorer this IPL season with 461 in 12 innings.
Narine, as one of the best all-rounders in the tournament, has also taken 15 wickets. He is right up there among the Knight Riders’ top wicket-takers this season. Varun Chakravarthy has taken the most wickets for KKR this IPL season. He has 18 to Harshit Rana’s 16.
