The last league match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be played between the two teams sitting at the top of the table. This match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be played at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. In this match, Rajasthan Royals, captained by Sanju Samson, would like to return to the winning path at any cost.
The opening batsman for the Rajasthan Royals is the main source of worry. Jos Buttler was given a chance by Tom Kohler Cadmore after he got back home. In the previous match, Cadmore had played far too many dot balls. Sanju Samson had to lose his wicket as a result of the mounting pressure. This season, Yashasvi Jaiswal has also struggled to score runs consistently and has given up wickets when the bat is in the powerplay.
Riyan Parag and Samson are both in excellent shape. Parag is batting very sensibly and has taken care of the middle order all by himself. Other than that, Dhruv Jurel and Rovman Powell have given inconsistent performances. As a finisher, the team is lacking Shimron Hetmyer. In this match, he has a chance to rally.
KKR's morale is high but Rajasthan can counterattack. Explosive batsman Philip Salt will not be seen playing in this match. They have returned to their country. In such a situation, Rahmanullah Gurbaz can be seen opening the batting. Sunil Narine is in excellent form. He is performing well with both the ball and bat. Venkatesh Iyer and Andre Russell are batting explosively. Rinku Singh's form is a matter of concern.
Probable playing 11 of Team Rajasthan Royals: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tom Kohler Cadmore, Sanju Samson (captain and wicketkeeper), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal.
Probable playing 11 of Team Kolkata Knight Riders: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wicketkeeper), Sunil Narine, Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer (captain), Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc, Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana.
