The two teams will play a high-scoring game at Brabourne Stadium, with the pacers playing a significant role early on. Although there should be some swing early on, the batters should have a good time with the ball skipping on to the bat. The spinners could also get some turn off the surface, which should make for an exciting middle overs phase. Because it is a day game, both teams will try to bat first after winning the toss. At the site, 170-180 should be the norm, with wickets in hand being crucial.

On April 18th, these two teams will face off in the 30th match of the Indian Super League (IPL) in Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. Rajasthan Royals are currently in fourth position, while Kolkata Knight Riders are currently in sixth position in the Indian Super League standings.
It’s the start of a new week, and many teams in this edition of the Indian T20 League have new optimism. Kolkata is one such squad that has recently fallen down the rankings, and in order to restart their campaign, they will face Rajasthan in Match 30. While Twenty20 is recognised for favouring batters, the role of bowling cannot be overlooked. The matches that have been controlled by the batters are frequently decided by one or two outstanding overs, which is why every side requires excellence in that department.
Kolkata’s current decline can be attributed to a lack of excellence in that area of their game. Despite possessing bowlers like Pat Cummins, Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav, and Varun Chakaravarthy, they have been unable to achieve the kind of control required to strangle the opposition. In the bowling group, they haven’t figured out their strongest formula yet, and they may tweak with it to increase potency. There are no such difficulties with their batting, which boasts a lot of physical power, but consistency is a process that takes time, and Kolkata will be trying for it.
Rajasthan, on the other hand, has lost two of its five games this season, but the team as a whole appears to be in good shape. Their batting has a lot of punch, with Jos Buttler at the helm and Shimron Hetmyer providing momentum when needed. Rajasthan’s bowling team is one of the finest in the league this season, with Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna leading the pace attack and Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal providing exceptional spin.
The Kiwi’s absence was noticed in the last game, and if he fails to recover in time, it will be a major setback for them. Overall, Rajasthan is in a better position than Kolkata in terms of team composition and might be regarded favourites.

Top Picks from RR vs KOL for Dream11 Fantasy Team:
Jos Buttler has been in sublime form in the TATA IPL 2022. He is currently the leading run scorer with 272 runs in five matches at an average of 68. His form and ability to get quick runs at the top of the order make him one to watch out for in this game.
Shreyas Iyer hasn’t fired much in the current season. He has been getting off to a good start but has not been able to capitalise on it into a big inning and is expected to have a promising knock in this match. Shreyas Iyer is comfortable against both pace and spin, which holds him in good stead ahead of this much-awaited IPL game.
Andre Russell has been a man for the Kolkata Knight Riders both with the bat and the ball. He is one of the best players in the IPL, with the all-rounder coming up with the goods in all departments. With Andre Russell donning a more prominent role in the batting unit, he is a must-have in your RR vs KOL Dream11 fantasy team.
Prasidh Krishna’s ability to swing the ball came in handy the last time he played against the Gujarat Titans. He will once again be a threat with the new ball and should pick up a wicket or two in this much-awaited RR vs KOL clash.
