KKR vs RR, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 47
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be desperate to end their five-match losing streak in IPL 2022 when they face the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 47 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday. Kolkata’s last win in the ongoing season came on April 6, when they beat the Mumbai Indians (MI) by five wickets while chasing down a target of 162.
Rajasthan’s confidence would also have been dented to an extent following their shock loss to Mumbai in their previous match. RR managed only 158 for 6 batting first and MI chased down the total with five wickets in hand. Despite their reverse in the last game, Rajasthan will believe they have the upper hand against an unsettled KKR outfit.
There was a run-fest when the two sides clashed during the first half of IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium. Batting first, Rajasthan scored 217 for 5 as Jos Buttler hammered a hundred. Shreyas Iyer led Kolkata’s response with a classy 85. However, RR leggie Yuzvendra Chahal’s spell (5/40) had the final say in the match as Kolkata were held to 210.
