Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will host Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match no. 56 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday. Both KKR and RR have identical 10 points from 11 matches so far and need to win on Thursday night to keep their Playoff hopes alive.
Last year’s finalists Rajasthan Royals, led by Sanju Samson, have been on a downward slide in their last five matches – losing four of those games, including the last three matches on the trot. RR need to arrest this slid immediately if they hope to qualify for the IPL 2023 Playoffs stage.
Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan-owned KKR have had a roller-coaster ride in IPL 2023 so far. However, they will be boosted by a five-wicket win over Punjab Kings earlier this week after a hard-fought win over Sunrisers Hyderabad last week.
The Royals will be boosted by the return of their pace spearhead Trent Boult, who missed their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in which they failed to defend 214 runs at home.
