Both Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) have won five games and cannot afford a defeat, which could be a big blow to playoff hopes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eden Gardens will host this crucial fixture on Thursday at 7:30 PM. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><\/b><b>KKR vs RR Preview | Team Analysis &amp; Squad Details<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s a closer look at KKR and RR &#8211; team analysis, squad, head-to-head record, and prediction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KKR will go into the match with plenty of confidence. The batting unit is the two-time champions&#8217; strength, as Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Jason Roy, and Rinku Singh steered the franchise to a five-wicket victory over Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Monday. Rana, Rinku, and Venkatesh Iyer have racked up more than 300 runs this season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uncapped fast bowler Harshit Rana was impressive against PBKS. The 21-year-old provided two crucial breakthroughs in the powerplay, removing Prabhsimran Singh and Bhanuka Rajapaksa. Meanwhile, the spin duo Varun Chakaravarthy and Suyash Sharma apply the brakes in the middle overs. Varun has 17 wickets, and Suyash has ten.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>KKR Squad\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nitish Rana (captain)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rahmanullah Gurbaz<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Narayan Jagadeesan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venkatesh Iyer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andre Russell\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rinku Singh<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Wiese<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunil Narine<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaibhav Arora<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Umesh Yadav<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suyash Sharma<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Varun Chakravarthy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mandeep Singh<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shardul Thakur<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jason Roy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kulwant Khejroliya<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harshit Rana<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Narayan Jagadeesan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anukul Roy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lockie Ferguson<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tim Southee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Litton Das<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aarya Desai<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Rajasthan Royals (RR)<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RR is under pressure after picking up just one win in its last six games. However, the fans will be relieved that Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson have overcome their blip. Last week, the duo stitched together a 138-run partnership against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). With Eden Gardens witnessing high-scoring games, the batters will likely pile up runs on Thursday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Trent Boult-less bowling lineup has struggled, as Sandeep Sharma and Kuldip Yadav conceded 98 runs between them against SRH. But Yuzvendra Chahal&#8217;s return to the wickets column was positive. The leg-spinner took 4\/29 and is one wicket away from becoming the leading wicket-taker in IPL.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>RR Squad\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanju Samson (captain)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yashasvi Jaiswal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jos Buttler<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Devdutt Padikkal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Riyan Parag<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shimron Hetmyer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ravichandran Ashwin<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trent Boult<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yuzvendra Chahal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sandeep Sharma<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adam Zampa<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jason Holder<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Navdeep Saini<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obed McCoy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KM Asif<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Donovan Ferreira<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joe Root<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Murugan Ashwin<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dhruv Jurel<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kuldip Yadav<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KC Cariappa<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdul P A<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kunal Rathore<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kuldeep Sen<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Akash Vashisht<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b><\/b><b>KKR vs RR &#8211; Head-to-Head<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KKR has the advantage over RR in the 27 meetings between both franchises.
