Defeating Rajasthan will be the hardest for them this season.

A spirited Rajasthan Royals team won the last game despite suffering from injuries to crucial players and playing rusty cricket.

RR, other than their last game, has been in completely dominating form and would like to come out better against KKR.

Eden Gardens Stadium Analysis

At Eden Gardens, one may anticipate a high-scoring contest. However, it would also depend on the surface on which the game is to be played. A ground that is spin-friendly will be sought after by KKR to support their three excellent spinners, but the home curators have denied them this opportunity and instead made a neutral pitch.

KKR vs RR: Top Players You Can Pick in Your Fantasy Team

Sunil Narine

For KKR in the IPL 2024, Sunil Narine has been a revelation. Narine was unfortunate to be run out in the first game and was also removed early in the second game played at Eden Gardens. Thus, Narine will try to exploit a pitch that is batting-friendly at Eden Gardens this time. Choose Narine if your fantasy XI is going to be KKR-heavy.

Sanju Samson

This season, the skipper of the Rajasthan Royals has been outstanding, ranking second in the team’s run total. Samson‘s consistent play makes him an invaluable addition to fantasy teams. This surface will suit his batting style.

Sanju Samson and Sunil Narine are good picks for captaincy and vice-captaincy in your team.
