Playing XI predictions for RR vs KKR match today
RR predicted XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, R Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal
Impact Sub: Donovan Fereira
Players to watch pout for RR: Rajasthan Royals top three batters Yashasvi Jaiswal, skipper Sanju Samson and local hero Riyan Parag will have to shoulder additional responsibilities if they are to snap the losing streak and head to the playoffs finishing in top-two, that will give them two cracks to reach the final.
KKR predicted XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Sunil Narine, Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer (c), Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc, Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana
Impact Sub: Vaibhav Arora
Player to watch out for KKR: Rahmanullah Gurbaz will be a like-for-like replacement for Salt but expecting him to make an impact like Phil Salt straightway will be unrealic. The Afghan wicketkeeper-batter, who played 11 matches in 2023, has not played any match this season and his last outing was way back on March 18 in a T20I versus Ireland.
