So as we all know that ipl is going on and today is 18 th match of ipl season 14 which is played between kolkata knight riders and Rajasthan royals. Both teams have good batting lineup and having good bowling strength as well. Kkr is leaded by Eoin Morgan who has the really better experience than rajasthan skipper sanju samson this also affects the match result. According to me todays ipl match is going to be very thrilling. We can see the good score tonight. Both teams played 4 matches and get victory in only one of them. Kkr had a good impact over the rajasthan in ipl. Buttler will have to score much for their team today in order to get their second victory of this season. Andre russel of kkr is really in very good form. Kolkata knight riders is founded to be the dominant over the rajasthan royals in ipl.
Manan vohra may be dismissed today due to which younger yashashvi jaiswal will get a chance to play their first match of ipl 2021. Both teams has to look on their bowling lineup. Rajasthan is the team of the ipl which loses most number of wickets in the first six overs of powerplay where as on the other hand kolkata knight riders is the team of the ipl who took least number of wickets in the first six overs of power surge. It would not be a bad ploy for Eoin Morgan to promote Andre Russell up in the order, while Pat Cummins provides late blitz. The skipper will himself look to get back among runs, while he will be equally concerned about Gill, who once again failed to convert his starts and he returned with a golden duck against CSK.
For Rajasthan, bowling is also a big concern as their big buy Chris Morris and Mustafizur Rahman have struggled to check runs. They also have limited overseas options with Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes ruled out because of injuries, while Liam Livingstone have left citing bio-bubble fatigue.
