Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals lock horns in a crucial match at the Eden Gardens on Thursday (May 11), which will determine their fate in this season.

Both KKR and RR are on 10 points after 11 games, as RR's superior Net Run Rate have them just above the Knights. But as the two sides meet with two more games after this, a loss can have season-ending ramifications, while a win would keep the hopes alive.

KKR vs RR IPL 2023 Match 56 Team News, Injury Update

KKR Team News vs RR: Kolkata Knight Riders will be without Umesh Yadav, who is struggling with a hamstring issue. KKR registered a thrilling victory in the last match against Punjab Kings, and need to continue the same momentum on Thursday.

Don't expect too many changes on the side, but if they make one, Vaibhav Arora may give way to someone like Anukul Roy. But we predict they will go with an unchanged lineup for the RR clash.

RR Team News vs KKR: Rajasthan suffered a last-ball defeat against SRH and it was a catastrophic no-ball by Sandeep Sharma which turned their victory into a loss.

With five defeats in the last six matches, RR find themselves in this muddle and a win can only take them towards a brighter situation. They can make a couple of changes in the match, as Kuldip Yadav and Murugan Ashwin may get replaced by Kuldeep Sen and Adam Zampa.
