 Info: 

• Rajasthan Royals are understandably low on confidence after successive defeats to Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings. Sanju Samson has top scored for the Royals in the tournament with 145 runs, no other Rajasthan player has breached 90 runs. With the ball, Chetan Sakariya is their highest wicket taker with 6 wickets in 4 games.
• For Kolkata Knight Riders, they are also struggling with recent form after losing to CSK, RCB and Mumbai Indians. The bulk of their runs have come from Nitish Rana, however, he is still a long way away from the likes of Skikhar Dhawan, Glenn Maxwell and Jonny Bairstow in the race for the Orange Cap. With the ball, Andre Russell has taken 7 wickets in four games including 5-15 against Mumbai Indians.
• With both teams on low form, will they decide to use some new players? Rajasthan Royals are struggling for options after the withdrawals of Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes and Liam Livingstone. For KKR, Lockie Ferguson is yet to make an appearance in the 2021 IPL.

 Toss Predictions:

 Weather & Pitch Report: 

⛅ Weather:

Mostly cloudy and with the temperature between 31 and 29 degrees during the game.

🏟️ Pitch:

Most games in Mumbai have seen scores approaching the 200 mark. Runs have not been hard to come by but both pace and spin bowlers have also found success.

 Team NEWS: 

 RR Team News: 

Sanju Samson must be wondering just how his team managed to defeat Delhi Capitals in Game 7 of this year’s competition. They are struggling and could do with resetting as a team but IPL games come thick and fast and momentum plays a huge part in the tournament.

 KKR Team News: 

Eoin Morgan’s side have come up short with both bat and ball in the tournament so far. The captain hasn’t been able to lead from the front, so far he has made only 45 runs in the 2021 IPL.

 RR Key Players: 

 Jos Buttler: 

England’s wicket-keeper is yet to contribute a significant score in the 2021 IPL. He made 49 against CSK but has produced only 35 runs across the other games. 

 Sanju Samson: 
The Rajasthan Royals’ skipper began the tournament with 119 against Punjab Kings. However, since then he has made only 26 runs in the subsequent three games and his team need more.

 David Miller: 
With Archer, Stokes and Livingstone back in the UK, there is more pressure on the likes of David Miller to deliver. He made 62 from 43-balls in the win against Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan needs to see something similar in this game.

 KKR Key Players: 

 Shubman Gill: 

Still only 21 years of age but KKR need him to find the form which produced 440 runs in last year’s competition. He has a top score of 33 so far this year. 

 Andre Russell: 
The Jamaican all-rounder delivered against Mumbai Indians with 5-15 and made 54 in their last game against CSK. He is producing and needs his team-mates to step up.

 Varun Chakravarthy: 

The leg-spinner is yet to reach the heights of the 2020 IPL when he took 17 wickets at 20.94. So far his 4 wickets have cost 32.25 in this year’s competition.

 Team Forms: 

 RR Team Form: 

Apart from their rogue win against Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals have really struggled in this year’s IPL 2021 campaign. They finished bottom in 2020 and their issues seem deep rooted.

 KKR Team Form: 

KKR ended the 2020 IPL in poor form and they are yet to snap out of it in 2021. However, they showed impressive lower order hitting against CSK which suggests there is more to some from the side.

 SQUAD: 

 Rajasthan Royals: 

Sanju Samson (captain), Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag, Shreyas Gopal, Rahul Tewatia, Mahipal Lomror, Kartik Tyagi, Andrew Tye, Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Markande, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Anuj Rawat, David Miller, Manan Vohra, Christopher Morris, Shivam Dube, Chetan Sakariya, Mustafizur Rahman, Liam Livingstone, K.C. Cariappa, Akash Singh, Kuldip Yadav.

 Kolkata Knight Riders:
