It’s been a bit of a disappointing start tot he season for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2022 so far. Easily one of the best squads on paper, they started well but are now reeling with two successive losses, with a total of 3 wins in their first 6 games in IPL 2022. Now, they are in action in Match 30 of the season, trying to avoid a hattrick of losses, even though they’ve never won at the Brabourne Stadium till date in the IPL!
Now they’ll be up against the Rajasthan Royals who also have 3 wins int heir 5 games in the IPL 2022 season so far, with just one win in their last three games. In recent encounters, KKR have got a great win record against RR, winning as many as 7 of their last 9 games against this team.

Numbers
- Head to head in last 5 games, Kolkata leads 3-2.
- 7 games at Brabourne in IPL 2022 – 4 won batting second.
- Yuzvendra Chahal – 12 wickets in 5 games so far.
Rajasthan Royals
In the last game, they played James Neesham in place of Trent Boult who was out with a slight niggle but we expect the latter to come back into the side for this crucial encounter. With the ball, there’s the Purple Cap leader Yuzvendra Chahal who has a good record against some of the KKR batsmen (getting Nitish Rana out 4 times), so he’s likely continue getting the wickets and we’re adding him to our RR vs KOL fantasy team.
With only 1 wicket in his last 3 games in IPL 2022, not many will be picking Prasidh Krishna in their RR vs KOL Dream11 teams but he had a flurry of wickets coming into this season and we think he’s a good bowling option today and for the rest of the tournament too. Shimron Hetmyer is an ideal finisher (going at 250+ strike rate so far) while for an anchor role, we think Devdutt Padikkal is a must have.
Kolkata Knight Riders
In the last game, Sam Billings was left out for Aaron Finch because of illness but we think the former should slot back in, unless the management wants to give Finch a longer run at the top. Talking about the top order, Venkatesh Iyer has only 103 runs in 5 games which means they could consider him in the middle order where he’s batted for India while that means they could try Sunil Narine at the top once again.

Andre Russell has been at his absolute best in this season so there’s no chance we can leave him out of our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) RR vs KOL fantasy team, and we’ll maybe even pick him as our fantasy captain if playing a one-on-one contest. Playing his IPL debut in the last game, Aman Khan was wicketless but we think there’s a good opportunity with this player if you’re playing a grand league.
