We will help you select the best 11 players in the Dream 11 team and provide head-to-head stats for RR vs KKR.
Team Preview of Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders
Rajasthan Royals lost their last match against the Punjab Kings by five wickets, which means they have now lost the last four matches in a row. That has made their chances of finishing second slim because Sunrisers Hyderabad had a better chance of finishing second.
Rajasthan should win their last match against the Kolkata Knight Riders, who might be their opponent in the qualifier one, but it will not be easy for them to win against them.
Kolkata Knight Riders were notably the best team in the group stage, winning 9 matches and having a Net Run Rate of +1.428 with 19 points. This is the first time we have qualified for the knockout stages, and we will play the first qualifiers on May 21st, 2024.
The one big blow for the Kolkata team is that Phil Salt, the team’s second-highest run-scorer, will be unavailable for the rest of the IPL matches. He flew back to England to practice with his team for the upcoming T20 series against Pakistan.
Kolkata and Rajasthan already played their first match against each other in IPL 2024 on April 16, 2024, in which Rajasthan Royals won by 2 wickets. Jos Buttler scored the century, but this time, he is not here to save them. Many players like Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag can win it for the Rajasthan Royals.

Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, will hold the first IPL match between Rajasthan and Punjab Kings. Few international matches have been played on the surface, and most were high-scoring. Only four T20I matches have been played on the surface, and Pace bowlers have a better advantage than spinners. However, the pitch is great for batters.
13th venue of the season, the most in an IPL season. This has traditionally been a very high scoring venue, with 63m and 60m side boundaries, with the straight boundary at 73m. We are playing on a black soil pitch which is firm and rolled nicely. Surely a surface on which a lot of runs can be scored.
The pitch has a few cracks but it generally plays much better than the looks. Last year, both games here were won by the side batting first. Teams prefer doing that because when you are chasing, you are under pressure, but in an India Australia game at this venue, Australia chased a huge score of 222 in the last over. Irrespective on when you bat, there are a lot of runs to be had here.
