Venue: Eden Gardens, Kolkata
On Tuesday, April 16, 2024, at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the Indian Premier League 2024 will feature a match between the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). Both KKR and RR have gotten off to great starts in the current campaign. RR is presently leading the points table in this competition after winning five games and losing just one. The Royals aim to maintain their winning streak, while KKR, who are presently ranked second in the points table, have only lost one game and won four in this season. The Knight Riders hope to maintain their winning streak by defeating the table toppers in this match.
Regarding the Knight Riders’ most recent match, Philip Salt 89*(47) had a fantastic innings that enabled the team to chase the target in 16 overs. Shreyas Iyer 38*(38) did a great job of acting as the chase’s second fiddle anchor, keeping everyone calm. With a fantastic partnership of 120 runs off of 75 deliveries, these two made it easy for the Knight Riders to chase the target. Regarding the bowlers, Knight Riders were able to hold LSG to a subpar total of 161 with the outstanding bowling of Sunil Narine (4-0-17-1). In addition, Mitchell Starc (4-0-28-2) bowled exquisitely and provided superb support for Narine. All of these players should keep up their strong play, the Knight Riders hope.
Regarding the Royals’ most recent game, Yashasvi Jaiswal 39(28) performed incredibly well and began to smash in the powerplay as usual. However, the Royals lost his wicket at the wrong moment and several more wickets thereafter, which slightly shifted the balance of the match to Punjab’s advantage. However, Shimron Hetmyer 27*(10) ultimately made a huge cameo that helped RR win the game. Regarding the bowlers, Trent Boult (4-0-22-1) and Keshav Maharaj (4-0-23-2) bowled brilliantly to ensure that the Punjab Kings could only manage to hit 147. The Royals were in complete control from the outset. The Royals are hoping that each of these guys keeps up their strong play.
KKR has defeated RR in fourteen of the twenty-seven games they have played head-to-head, with two games ending in ties. Players like Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson, and Shreyas Iyer are getting closer to reaching important IPL career milestones as the match progresses. Setting the stage for a thrilling match between these two strong teams, individual records and milestones are at risk.

It’s anticipated that Eden Gardens will yield another high-scoring match. In the last ten Twenty20 matches played here, the first innings total average has been 191 runs. There is an equal amount of victories for the teams batting first and second in these contests. Here, the team that wins the toss may choose to chase.
The pitch at Eden Gardens is often good for batting. But the surface offers extra zip and nippiness for pace bowlers willing to bend their backs. The majority of the conference is expected to have clear skies and slightly warmer temperatures.
RR will be happy to bat first if they win the toss here because they have won three of their previous games in this fashion. But KKR would be trying to confuse RR by encouraging the guests to chase.
Best batter: Rinku Singh (KKR), Sanju Samson (RR)
Best bowler: Varun Chakravarthy (KKR), Avesh Khan (RR)
Best all-rounder: Andre Russell (KKR), Ravichandran Ashwin (RR)
Player of the match: Sanju Samson (RR)
