Today in Indian Premiere League, Rajasthan Royals is going to fight with kolkata Knight Riders.Rajasthan has won both the games in this IPL and has scored 200+ runs in both the games.In first game RR has scored 217 runs and won the game against CSK whereas in second game RR had chased 224 runs in 19.3 overs against KXIP. For RR Sanju Samson and captain Smith have played very well and has completed two back to back half centuries in two games and both are looking in a great form. Overnight super hero Rahul Tewatiya who snatched victory from KXIP in just 1 overs in last game seems in touch both with bat and ball. In first game he played the key role with his spin bowling and in second match with is charismatic batting. His presence will help RR in both the department of game i.e Batting as well as bowling. Jos Butler's performance may be the concern for RR as he failed to score runs in previous game though it was the first game of his in IPL. RR will be hoping for a great start with Smith and Butler as they are going to play against KKR which seems a balanced side after inclusion of Pat Cummins. KKR has bought him for a hefty INR 15.5 crores. In first game he conceded 49 runs against defending Champion Mumbai Indians but in next match Pat Cummins proved his worth and took 1 wickets and just gave 19 runs in his 4 overs quota which futher helped KKR team to restrict SRH in 142 runs. Though KKR has won last match but still struggling this season. Russell is not playing according to his name and rest batsmen except Shubhman Gill are struggling too. in first game against MI KKR was neither good with ball nor good with bat. In Second game against SRH chasing 142 runs was not so difficult but KKR lost quick wickets in initial overs later partnership between Morgan and Gill helped KKR to win first game of this IPL. 

Today KKR fans will be hoping for a joint performance from their players in both department and KKR may come with a better plan in today's game. In this match KKR's first priority should be getting the wicket of Sanju Samson as he is playing fearlessly and scoring huge runs for his team, if KKR gets the Wicket of Sanju in initian overs then there would be great chance of winning this match.
