KKR vs RR Playing 11 IPL 2024: Kolkata Knight Riders will be up against Rajasthan Royals in Match 31 of IPL 2024 on Tuesday (April 16).

Rajasthan Royals are currently placed on top of the points table with 10 points in six matches. KKR are just behind the Royals, placed 2nd with 8 points in five matches. Both teams have lost one match in the season so far, and as the table toppers clash, it is going to be a mouthwatering contest.
