Team Preview

Kings XI Punjab (KXIP)

KXIP skipper KL Rahul

KXIP witnessed one of the best turnarounds of this season after winning five consecutive matches. With six wins in 12 games, the Punjab-based franchise is currently placed at the fourth spot in the Points Table

Moreover, they registered victories in the last two matches, despite the absence of one of their best batsmen, Mayank Agarwal. He might make a comeback in this clash, replacing Deepak Hooda. Rest, KXIP will take the field with the same playing XI in the encounter against Rajasthan.

With 10 points after 12 matches, Rajasthan Royals are currently struggling at the second last position in the charts. This game is a must-win for them to have an outside chance of making it to the playoffs.

Moreover, the Royals registered an emphatic victory over defending champions Mumbai Indians in their previous clash. Ben Stokes smashed a tremendous century to take his team home along with good support from Sanju Samson. These contributions will provide them with the much-needed momentum while coming to this match.
