KKR vs RR Match preview
KKR, currently positioned seventh on the points table, are desperate of a win to keep their campaign alive. Their batting led by Venkatesh Iyer has seen serious turmoil this year. In the absence of Quinton de Kock, the opening pair of KKR lost its metal and their most expensive pick Venkatesh has failed to fire either. Meanwhile, their bowling led by Harshit Rana has been leaking runs repeatedly.
RR, the inaugural champions of the IPL are already out from the race of playoffs. Their dismal run in this IPL is being questioned, especially the massive auction blunder franchise has commit. However, RR must be looking to take some positives with them. The recent Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s knock is one of them.
