IPL 6: Match 8 - RR vs KKR - A statistical preview
In the 10 matches played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals in IPL so far, there is hardly anything to separate them as both the Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders have won five matches apiece(one of which was a tie where RR won, courtesy a super-over).
Excluding that famous tied match in Cape Town in 2009, all the remaining nine matches have been clearly dull one-sided fixtures.
In the IPL, Rahul Dravid has made most runs off the bowling of L Balaji. Dravid has so far made 59 runs off 43 balls from Balaji while Balaji has dismissed him just once.
Brad Hodge has struck the most number of boundaries in T20 cricket, with 549 hits to the fence in 180 games.
The Kolkata Knight Riders captain Gautam Gambhir currently shares the record for the most half-centuries in the IPL with Chris Gayle and fellow team-mate Jacques Kallis. All three above mentioned players have scored 16 50s in the IPL.
What Next: The Rajasthan Royals will square off against Pune Warriors India at Pune, while the Kolkata Knight Riders will travel to south to take on Kohli and co. at Bangalore; both the matches are scheduled to be held on April 11.
