It's Monday, the start of a new week, with new hope and new beginnings. The saying goes it's never too late, but in the Indian T20 League, you get limited opportunities, and you have to turn things around before it's too late. Its match number 47, involving Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
It will be both teams' tenth match. KKR have lost their last five games and are in eighth place with three victories from nine games. They were defeated by RR by a narrow 7-run score in the first match.
RR is flawless in the tournament, having lost only three of its nine games. A win in this game could help them reclaim second place in the standings. The Royals were defeated by Mumbai Indians by 5 wickets in their previous match. For only the second time in the tournament, they scored less than 160 runs and failed to defend it. In this encounter, RR will be aiming for an improved effort from their middle-order.
