Indian Premier League Preview: Kolkata Knight Riders vs. Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals are in a confident mood after thrashing RCB in their last match while Kolkata Knight Riders are unable to solve their problems. Will it be another win for Royals or will KKR register much needed win?
Rajasthan Royals
They got everything to deliver consecutive wins but have not gelled as a unit. Ajinkya Rahane and Sanju Samson are quality batsmen while Shane Watson, James Faulkner, Steven Smith and Kane Richardson are genuine match winners.  Their skipper Watson will have to make sure that his troops starts contributing as another loss could dent their title hopes. Rajat Bhatia has played well and the same could be said about Pravin Tambe, who is bowling superbly at the moment. Stuart Binny is another player who can win matches single handedly but he has failed to deliver this time.
Kolkata Knight Riders
They are in a mess because their leader has gone in a sleeping mode. After registering three consecutive ducks, he scored just 1 run in the last match. Isn’t pathetic?  Gautam Gambhir has failed miserably in the ongoing edition of the IPLT20 7TH. Other important players have not performed on the expected lines. The most disappointing has been Yusuf Pathan, who is unable to score runs season after season but still retains his place in the playing eleven. Sunil Narine has been their star performer so far but he needs support from his batsmen.
Verdict
Rajasthan Royals have a better chance because of their team formation.
