Rajasthan might test their bench strength in this match, potentially giving South African fast bowler, Quena Mafaka, a chance. Mafaka could replace Afghan bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi in the playing XI. Meanwhile, KKR could see the return of Moeen Ali, possibly replacing Rovman Powell.
Rajasthan’s bowling attack looks rather ordinary after the injuries to Sandeep Sharma and Wanindu Hasaranga. Akash Madhwal got a chance in the last match but couldn’t make much of an impact. The team is also missing its captain, Sanju Samson. The form of Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, and Shubham Dube is a major concern. The team has lacked a consistent finisher throughout the season.
For KKR, captain Ajinkya Rahane is in excellent form, but lacks consistent support from other batsmen. The team has yet to get a good start in the tournament. Rinku Singh, Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, and Ramandeep Singh have all underperformed. However, Sunil Narine has consistently delivered all-round performances. Among the bowlers, Chetan Sakariya has returned after a long time, while more is expected from Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana, and Vaibhav Arora.
