The game saw a lot of twists and turns, but KKR held their nerves to emerge victorious off the last ball. Although KKR’s death bowling has been a concern, the management is unlikely to tinker with the winning XI in the game against the Royals.
Umesh Yadav Fit and Available
KKR has received a great boost as their premier pace bowler Umesh Yadav is fit and available to play. The pacer hasn’t played since April 26 game against RCB due to a hamstring injury but has recovered and is available for selection. However, it is unlikely that the pacer will feature in the Playing XI against Rajasthan Royals.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Jason Roy have been in good form for the Knight Riders, and they will need to provide a solid start to the team. Venkatesh Iyer has been consistent in the middle order and will be crucial in building partnerships with Nitish Rana and Andre Russell. The team has a strong batting lineup that goes deep, with the likes of Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, and Shardul Thakur expected to contribute in the lower middle order.
Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana will continue against a strong Rajasthan top order. The spinners will play a crucial role, and the team will be relying on Narine, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Suyash Sharma to deliver a good performance. Andre Russell and Nitish Rana add depth to the bowling attack and can provide variations.
