In what promises to be an electrifying clash, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are gearing up to lock horns with the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the iconic Eden Gardens Stadium on April 16th.  

Currently standing strong at the second position on the points table, KKR has been in scintillating form, winning four out of their five matches in the IPL 2024 season. However, amidst their stellar performance, there’s one player who might face the axe – Harshit Rana, that too considering his wicket-less outing against LSG.

In the probable XI ahead of the clash, Salt is expected to continue as the opener and wicketkeeper, given his impressive performances till now. Alongside him, the explosive Narine is anticipated to maintain his spot at the top, providing the team with a blitzkrieg start.

The middle order is expected to feature the likes of Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer , Angkrish Raghuvanshi, and the ever-reliable Andre Russell. These seasoned campaigners will be entrusted with the responsibility of steering the innings and piling up a formidable total against RR's bowling attack.

In the bowling department, KKR boasts a lethal combination of pacers and spinners. Mitchell Starc, Vaibhav Arora, and Ramandeep Singh are anticipated to lead the pace attack, while the spin wizard Varun Chakravarthy is expected to weave his magic with his variations.

Despite the potential changes in the lineup, KKR remains a force to be reckoned with, especially at their fortress – the Eden Gardens Stadium. With a dominant record against RR at home, having won six out of nine encounters, KKR will be eager to extend their winning streak and further solidify their position on the points table.
