The table toppers go up against each other. The Royals are a bowling heavy side while the Knight Riders are among the fastest scoring teams in the tournament. The Knight Riders though do not have a shabby bowling line-up as well. Mitchell Starc is back at his best and the spin attack looks pretty solid. For the Royals too, Chahal is among the wickets and the line-up as a whole is pretty innovative.

KKR vs RR Key Players
Rinku Singh
Rinku Singh has been pretty quite so far. It could be due to the fireworks from the West Indies duo but Rinku Singh will be hoping for a chance to prove that he can do more than finish an innings with chances higher up.
Yashashvi Jaiswal
Yashashvi Jaiswal may look to start silent in the upcoming game. He would feel better with some time out in the middle and if he does get a few deliveries to see himself in he could be a huge factor going forward in the tournament.
