IPL-2022 KKR Vs RR: KKR Won By 7 Wickets

IPL 2022 – KKR ( Kolkata Knight Riders ) vs RR ( Rajasthan Royals ) cricket match was scheduled today in which KKR won by 7 wickets.

Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and elected to bowl. Two changes for KKK – Shivam Mavi and Anukul Roy are in. Venkatesh Iyer misses out. For Rajasthan Royals, Karun Nair replaces Daryl Mitchell.

Shreyas Iyer:  “We will bowl first, seems like a used wicket. Considering the dew factor it helps us in the second innings. We have lost many close games. The chat is always been positive cricket. We need to play fearless cricket. We have two changes. Roy comes in for Venky and Mavi comes in. It’s important to have the right combination. We are trying to give as many matches as possible to the players, but it’s also important to get the right combinations.“

Sanju Samson: “Nothing different today, looking forward to winning some tosses going forward. In this format, the margin for error is very small. We have put in a great standard. Nothing much to improve on. We have Karun Nair coming in for Mitchell in this game. We are making a few changes looking at the conditions, and we feel Karun Nair will be a better option against tonight’s opponents.”

Skipper Sanju Samson hit a fifty as Rajasthan Royals posted 152 for five against Kolkata Knight Riders in an IPL match on Monday. Invited to bat, Samson smashed seven fours and a six in his 49-ball 54, while Shimron Hetmyer provided late charge with an unbeaten 13-ball 27. However, Jos Buttler (22), Riyan Parag (19) and Karun Nair (13) got started but couldn’t capitalise. Tim Southee (2/46) scalped two wickets, while Umesh Yadav (1/24), Anukul Roy (1/28) and Shivam Mavi (1/33) accounted for one each.
