KKR vs RR: Momentum with KKR as they aim to keep matching along against shaky RR
Peaking at the right time matters in IPL, and RR would rue the fact they peaked too early. In their first six matches, they won five games and lost only one game. But in the next six games, they lost five games and won only one game. In all the losses, they have failed to close the games with bat and ball in hand. Death bowling has been an issue for RR, and they need to fix the problem quickly if they harbor hopes of qualifying for the playoffs. Obed McCoy is a good option for RR at the death overs, and skipper Samson will likely use him in the remaining matches.
On the hand, KKR started to peak at the right time and now have momentum. Their big players Andre Russell, Nitish Rana, and Chakravarthy have started to fire and help them win close games. The biggest star for KKR this season has been Rinku Singh. The southpaw has scored 356 runs at a stellar strike rate of 157. Suyash Sharma has also bowled well for KKR, scalping 10 wickets from six games.
