MATCH PREFERENCE
The in-form Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be looking to ease the disappointment of a five-goal loss to the Mumbai Indians when they face a struggling Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the second leg of the Indian Premier League ( IPL) at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday.
The Knights, who got off to a bright start in the 2022 edition, are currently on a five-game losing streak. Statement by Captain Shreyas Iyer after his side’s defeat to Delhi.
“The combination didn’t work for us. We were trying to solve a problem,” he said. KKR made 13 changes to its 11 games – the most by any team – halfway through.
On Monday, Orange Cap owner Jos Buttler and Purple Cap owner Yuzvendra Chahal will look to pick up where they left off in the first leg against KKR on April 18.
This is the first time in IPL’s 15-year history that a hitter (Buttler) has scored in a century and a pitcher (Chahal) has scored a hat-trick and five batting goals. in the same match.
Although Shreyas and Aaron Finch scored 85 and 58, respectively, RR overtook KKR with seven runs. The batting has been a failure for KKR, who have lost the most shots in the first six rounds so far – 18.
With Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna supporting the Royal attack in PowerPlay, the Knights top order will have to stay sharp. For RR, Shimron Hetmyer’s finishes often make him blush.
However, the Guyanese smash, who is currently IPL 2022’s top scorer (158) after his death, will need the likes of Riyan Parag and Daryl Mitchell to back him up from the other end.
