IPL 2022: RR vs KKR Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Tips, Possible Playing 11, Match Prediction

Mumbai, April 16: Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders will be eager to get a move on in the IPL 2022 points table with a win when they face each other on Monday (April 18).

Both RR and KKR have 6 points each and right now they are battling the mid-tournament log jam and would require a solid run to keep their play-off berth hopes intact.

The Knight Riders have lost two matches in a row, revealing a few chinks like lack of settled openers as they have already experimented with and dropped Ajinkya Rahane.

Venkatesh Iyer, their star of IPL 2021, is having a jaded IPL 2022 and they need some runs from him. Similarly, the KKR don’t have a solid wicketkeeper batsman too as Sheldon Jackson and Sam Billings have not contributed much with the bat.
