The 30th match of IPL 2022 is between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders. Rajasthan, one of the strongest teams of this season, has been derailed. Sanju Samson's team has lost two out of the last three matches. Now in the sixth match, this team would like to join the starting four teams in the points table by winning against Kolkata. On the other hand, Kolkata, captained by Shreyas Iyer, will also try to make it to the top four teams in the points table by securing a fourth victory.
A total of 25 matches have been played between the two teams in IPL so far. Out of these 13 matches have been in the name of Kolkata and 11 matches in Rajasthan. There is a match going on. In the last five matches, Kolkata has won four times, while in the last match, Rajasthan defeated Kolkata by six wickets.
Kolkata has not won any match in Brabourne
In this match to be held at Brabourne Stadium, the Kolkata team would like to improve their record with a victory. Kolkata has not won any match on this ground so far. On the other hand, Rajasthan has won two out of four matches, while they have to face defeat in two. The biggest problem for Kolkata has been the poor performance of the opening pair. In the first match, Rahane and Venkatesh put together 43 runs for the first wicket. This has been the best opening partnership for Kolkata this season.
The second-best opening partnership for Kolkata is 21 runs. In the last match, Finch was given a chance in place of Rahane, but he too was dismissed after scoring seven runs. Venkatesh too has not been able to do anything special so far. On the other hand, Kolkata's middle order is also not in good shape. Shreyas Iyer has got the start, but he is not able to play big innings. Wicketkeepers Sheldon Jackson or Sam Billings is also not contributing with the bat.
Russell and Cummins have won a match each with the bat, but they cannot be expected to bat well in every match. Narine too has not been able to do much with the bat.
Kolkata bowlers also failed to stop runs
Kolkata bowlers have also failed to stop runs this season. Umesh Yadav at the beginning and Sunil Narine in the middle overs have been good. On the other hand, Pat Cummins has proved to be very expensive. Varun Chakravarthy also scored a lot against Hyderabad. Kolkata also does not have any good bowlers in the last overs. Because of this, the opposition teams are easily making big scores against Kolkata.
Rajasthan hopes from Butler
Jos Buttler has scored the most runs for Rajasthan and the responsibility of scoring runs will still be on his shoulders. Apart from him, the rest of the Rajasthan batsmen have been flops. Heymeyer has batted well in the end but Padikkal, Samson and Riyan Parag will also have to play with responsibility. Rajasthan's bowling is very strong. Chahal is the highest wicket-taker this season. At the same time, the pair of Bolt and Krishna is also doing amazing. Ashwin has not been able to take many wickets, but he has spent runs skimply.
Lack of finishers in Rajasthan
Rajasthan Royals does not have depth in batting. In such a situation, Kolkata will have to take early wickets early. After Hetmyer, the pressure on Ashwin and Riyan Parag will increase. Parag is also not in good form and taking Rajasthan wickets early can prevent Kolkata from scoring runs in the end overs.
Probable playing 11 of both the teams
Probable team of Rajasthan
Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Russi van der Dussen, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Riyan Parag, Trent Boult, Kuldeep Sen, Pranbhav Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal.
Kolkata probable squad
Aaron Finch, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Pat Cummins, Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav, Aman Hakim Khan, Varun Chakraborty.
