The blue brigade of the Indian Premier League
has played competitive cricket in the last few games. Their players are
finally justifying their talent on the right stage. Batting and bowling
has contributed while fielders have also chipped in with satisfying
results. Their opponents are struggling for consistency and have lost
quite a few games. Is this going to be another feast for Royals or will
KKR be able to stamp their authority?
Rajasthan Royals
I have said many a times that this side is full of talented players. They are lucky to have players like Sanju Samson and Karun Nair in their side. The batsmen are in top form with Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson, Karun Nair, Shane Watson and Steven Smith making useful contribution while the performance of Stuart Binny and Rajat Bhatia has been impressive. The bowling department has also fared well. James Faulkner, Kane Richardson and Pravin Tambe have taken regular wickets, which has held their bowling well.
Kolkata Knight Riders
Their biggest problem is their skipper Gautam Gambhir, who has forgotten how to lead a side. He is unable to control his emotions and is often seen scolding his players. He has been poor with the bat while the same could be said about other batters as well. Manish Pandey, Robin Uthappa, Yusuf Pathan and Jacques Kallis have thrown their wickets while Shakib-al-Hasan needs consistency in his performance. Bowling has also looked ordinary with Sunil Narine, the only bright spot.
Verdict
This match is clearly heading Rajasthan way as they got amazing set of players.
