Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals have lost their last match and have 3 wins out of 5 matches. Jos Buttler has been looking in a great form and is leading the list of the players with the most runs in IPL 2022. Karun Nair may replace Yashasvi Jaiswal. The team has found a positive in form of Shimron Hetmyer. Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal have been great with their spin bowling. Chahal is also leading the list for the purple cap. James Neesham, Trent Boult, and Prasidh Krishna will lead the team in fast bowling.

Having lost their last two matches, Kolkata is eyeing a win. Shreyas Iyer-led Kolkata Knight Riders have all-rounder power hitters like Andre Russell, Venkatesh Iyer, Sunil Narine and Pat Cummins who can turn the match anytime. Shreyas Iyer, Aaron Finch, and Nitish Rana have been giving stability to the batting department. Shreyas and Nitish have been enjoying a very good form. Umesh Yadav has been spectacular with the ball so far but Varun Chakravarthy’s form is a concern for the team.
