Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
If we compare the two batting lineups, Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals both sides look heavily stacked and this could turn out to be a high scoring affair. RR averages 7.6 sixes a game on the other hand, KKR averages 10.6 sixes a game which makes us believe KKR would hit more sixes in the upcoming game.
Even though we might see some movement with the new ball, the wicket looks great for batters and we expect another high scoring game at the venue. With both sides so heavily stacked we believe total runs in the match would be higher than 351.5.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Betting Odds
Rajasthan Royals to have a better opening partnership than Kolkata Knight Riders
Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders head into this game which is deemed as clash of the titans as both sides have had a phenomenal run thus far. Both sides have incurred a loss thus far but with RR having played a game more they are currently at the top of the table. Even though RR have looked great this season, their openers have struggled to make an impact thus far and have conceded a bigger opening partnership in two of the last three games. On the other hand, KKR openers have excelled in the powerplay which is probably why they have had a better opening stand in three of the last four games which makes us believe KKR would end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Kings Top Batters
Phillip Salt to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top batter
Kolkata Knight Riders dominated against Lucknow Super Giants and Phillip Salt was at the centre as he scored an unbeaten 89 and KKR won the game with eight wickets to spare. Salt has had a great tournament thus far especially at home where he has two half centuries in two matches which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Riyan Parag to be Rajasthan Royals’ top batter
Even though Riyan Parag did not have a great game in the last game against Punjab Kings, we are still going to stick with him as more often than not this pick has paid off. With 284 runs, he is the leading run scorer for RR which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Top Team Bowlers
Vaibhav Arora to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top bowler
Vaibhav Arora did not start the campaign for Kolkata Knight Riders but his introduction in the starting 11 has been a revelation for KKR as he has taken his opportunity and with six wickets in three games he is the leading wicket taker for KKR which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Yuzvendra Chahal to be Rajasthan Royals’ top bowler
Yuzvendra Chahal did not have a great game against Punjab Kings but that doesn’t change the fact he has been sensational this season for Rajasthan Royals as with 11 wickets thus far, Chahal is the leading wicket taker for RR which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
