The second encounter will be between Kolkata and Rajasthan in the doubleheader match to be held in IPL on Thursday. This is the 54th match of this season. Kolkata would like to win this match to be held at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. If Eoin Morgan's team wins this match, then their chances of reaching the playoffs will increase. Kolkata has 12 points from 13 matches. At the same time, the team's run rate is +0.294.
After winning the match against Rajasthan, the team will have 14 points. Even if Mumbai wins its last league match against Hyderabad and its run rate is less than Kolkata, then Kolkata will reach the playoffs comfortably.
Kolkata captain Eoin Morgan's form a big problem
The biggest problem of this season for Kolkata's team has been the form of team captain Eoin Morgan. In this season, his bat has scored just 111 runs in 13 matches. Whenever the team expected runs from him this season, he has disappointed the team. In such a situation, Morgan would like to recover his lost form against Rajasthan.
Kolkata has high hopes from Shubman Gill-Venkatesh Iyer
Kolkata opener Shubman Gill batted brilliantly in the previous matches, scoring a brilliant 57 against Hyderabad and leading the team to victory. At the same time, the bat of Venkatesh Iyer, who was searching for Kolkata in the second phase, has run well so far. He is making a significant contribution to the team with the bat as well as the ball.
Venkatesh has so far scored 201 runs in 6 matches. Along with this, he has also taken 3 wickets. This season, Kolkata's bowling seems to be revolving around Varun Chakravarthy. This player has troubled the good batsmen with his ball. He has taken 15 wickets in 13 matches.
Rajasthan is out of the play-off
Rajasthan Royals are out of the playoff race after losing the match against Mumbai. In such a situation, this team can spoil the game of Kolkata. Rajasthan will go to play their last league match. In such a situation, this team can give a chance to many young faces. Rajasthan would like a strong start in the match from Evin Lewis and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
At the same time, the team will expect captain Sanju Samson in the middle order. In the bowling, Mustafizur Rahman, Chetan Sakariya can once again prove useful for the team with their ball. Rajasthan would like to end the IPL 2021 season on a good note by winning their last match of the league.
