The pitch is substantially slower this week, as it has been in previous Wankhede games, providing plenty of assistance to the bowlers. With the new ball, the pacers won’t have much swing, so they’ll try to slow down and hit the deck hard as the game develops. The spinners should have a say in the middle overs due to the characteristics of the pitch. With the dew factor playing a role in the second innings, having wickets in hand will be crucial, as it always is.

On May 2nd, these two teams will face off in the 47th match of the Indian Super League (IPL) in Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Kolkata Knight Riders are currently in eighth position, while Rajasthan Royals are currently in second position in the Indian Super League standings.
After five straight losses, the two-time champions have fallen out of favour and find themselves in a vulnerable position on the points table. Kolkata’s batting appears to be in disarray, and the top order’s constant chopping and shifting has just exacerbated the problem. They must now stick to what they have and begin playing brave cricket, as Shreyas Iyer stated.
To be honest, the XI they named for the previous game never seemed like a winning one, and the lack of a reliable fifth bowling option is hurting them a lot. We might see Mohammad Nabi get an opportunity because of his all-around abilities, which could provide them with a better balance.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan was defeated by Mumbai in their most recent encounter, ending their three-match winning streak. The overdependency aspect was once again exposed, and their batting would not have coped with the circumstances if it hadn’t been for Jos Buttler. A batting line-up that includes Ravichandran Ashwin at number seven and Trent Boult at number eight does not inspire confidence, and the team’s management will need to rectify this.
James Neesham is one readymade option, and it’s about time he got a longer run in the XI. Rassie van der Dussen is another name that could appear in this game, and their participation will provide the team greater solidity. Let’s see what’s in store this time after the last meeting between these two sides ended in a high-scoring affair in which Rajasthan earned two points.

Top Picks from KOL vs RR for Dream11 Fantasy Team:
Jos Buttler has been the most talked about player in the IPL 2022 for good reason. In eight IPL 2022 matches, the RR opener has already amassed 566 runs, including three spectacular hundreds. Buttler is a must-have in your KOL versus RR Dream11 fantasy team.
Shreyas Iyer has a handful of fifties to his record in IPL 2022. He has scored 290 runs in nine matches at an average of 36.25. Iyer will fancy his chances against Rajasthan.
Andre Russell is a fantastic game all-rounder and has been a valuable asset for Kolkata both with the bat and the ball. He has scored 227 runs while also grabbing ten wickets in nine matches. Russell has a strike rate of 175.97 in IPL 2022, making him one of the most explosive batters in the game. Russell is a must-have in any KOL vs RR Dream11 fantasy team, especially with his death-bowling skills.
Trent Boult, despite being one of the best swing bowlers in the game, has yet to find his rhythm in the IPL 2022. The New Zealand pacer, on the other hand, has had his moments, with a couple of amazing dismissals earlier in the tournament standing out. With Boult expected to have a strong day, he might be backed to take a few wickets today.
