Large picture
First versus second. Bowling versus batting. On Tuesday at Eden Gardens, Rajasthan Royals, the team with the best combined economy rate in the IPL (8.33) will come up against Kolkata Knight Riders, the team with the second-best scoring rate (10.43 - Sunrisers Hyderabad leapfrogged them after this preview was published, climbing from 10.09 to 10.81 courtesy their jaw-dropping assault on Royal Challengers Bangalore).
The Royals have a proven track record that consistently wins activities by controlling every aspect of a ball inning pitches. Thanks to two ageless West Indian allrounders, which gives their bowlers virtually limitless freedom to play their shots, KKR have a line-up that seems to have unending degree.
Although these two groups are quite different tactically, they share similar traits for how creative they can be tactically. If enough people on both sides press, then, this challenge could be quite a dinner for the audience.
Kind guide
Team reports and Impact Player method
Kolkata Knight Riders
Since Nitish Rana injured his hand in KKR's first game of the season against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 23, he has n't played for the team. Rana was seen training ahead of their most recent game, which was against the Lucknow Super Giants, and KKR will undoubtedly be drawn to take him if he is fully fit, especially if R Ashwin is facing off against them ( more on this will follow soon ).

Likely XII 1 Phil Salt (wk ), 2 Sunil Narine, 3 Angkrish Raghuvanshi/Nitish Rana, 4 Shreyas Iyer ( capt ), 5 Venkatesh Iyer, 6 Rinku Singh, 7 Andre Russell, 8 Ramandeep Singh, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Vaibhav Arora, 11 Harshit Rana, 12 Varun Chakravarthy.
Rajasthan Royals
Jos Buttler and Ashwin missed Royals ' most recent fit, against Punjab Kings on Saturday, with niggles. Both are expected to casino up in if suit, with Tanush Kotian- an bowler who did n't plate and opened the bowling in that game against Punjab- and either Rovman Powell or Keshav Maharaj, depending on the hurl result, returning to the subs bench.

In the spotlight
Harshit Rana was an unsung hero for KKR in their win over LSG on Sunday, his characters of 0 for 35 concealing how much of an influence he made by conceding only 16 off 11 balloons to Nicholas Pooran despite their skirmish taking place during the 17th and 19th wickets. Harshit's changes of pace and use of the around- the- wicket angle to slant the ball away from the remaining- hander's hitting arc were essential to this, and he might need to call on those protective skills once if he comes up against Shimron Hetmyer on Tuesday.
R Ashwin is a king against remaining- hand pitchers, but he's not enjoyed bowling to two popular KKR left- handers. Sunil Narine tonked him for 60 runs off 22 balloons without being dismissed, while Nitish Rana hit him for 108 works in 58 balloons without being dismissed.
Stats that subject
Of the eight KKR pitchers to score at least 50 runs this year, six have 150- plus attack rates, and one has gone at 144.44. Shreyas Iyer, who has 129 runs at 120.56, is the only fast-scorer who has broken this concept.
In the IPL 2024, Yuzvendra Chahal has taken a batsman every 12 balls, which is his best hit charge in any season of the game.
Chahal needs three batsmen to approach the 350 level in T20 cricket.
In the IPL 2024, Avesh Khan, Mustafizur Rahman and Mohit Sharma, combined with Mustafizur Rahman and Mohit Sharma, has bowled the combined-most overs ( 10 ), which places him in the top half of bowlers who have sent down at least five overs during that period of the season.
In two games at Eden Gardens so far this season, Sunil Narine has an economy rate of 4.50 across eight overs, and has n't conceded a single boundary. In those activities, the various bowlers combined to earn 10.01 per over.
Ball and circumstances
Eden Gardens has just held two games so far this season- a run- fest in later March where KKR just defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad, and a lower- scoring outing on Sunday afternoon when KKR brushed away a phlegmatic LSG unit. Although the sample size is n't large enough to yield to many inferences, the ball typically tends to hit the ball right away in this situation, and the outside is quick.
