- Shreyas Iyer-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be hopeful that the batting order finally comes good against Rajasthan Royals. KKR are coming on the back of five consecutive defeats and needs to overcome RR if they want to stay in the race for IPL 2022 playoffs.
- Making the play-offs from here looks improbable for KKR who desperately need to find their best XI and stick with it for the remainder of the competition.
- The form of Venkatesh Iyer, who is experiencing second season blues, has a lot to do with the changes KKR have been forced to make regularly at the top of the order.
- After his struggles at the top, the team tried him in the middle order but that too did not work. The southpaw was back opening alongside Aaron Finch in the last game but runs deserted him again.
- Shreyas has had a decent run as a batter with 290 runs at 36.25 but he has not got enough support from his teammates.
