KKR vs RR Betting Tips & Who Will Win Today’s Match Of The Indian Premier League 2023

KKR vs RR Betting Tips: Fifth-positioned Kolkata Knight Riders will battle it out against fourth-positioned Rajasthan Royals this Thursday (May 11) in the 56th fixture of the Indian Premier League 2023. Kolkata’s iconic Eden Gardens will remain the venue for the electrifying KKR vs RR clash, scheduled to kick off at 7:30 in the evening.

KKR vs RR Pitch Report: Eden Gardens

The renowned Eden Gardens of Kolkata has always been a high-scoring venue. We have witnessed multiple run feasts at the prominent venue this season as well, as a score of 180 is being looked up as a par total. Batters have enjoyed their time out at the Eden and we expect things to remain the same during the upcoming KKR vs RR clash.

KKR vs RR Toss Winner Prediction:

The surface at Eden Gardens hardly shows any difference with the progression of the game. The pitch remains ideal for batting throughout the game and batters fancy chasing down any total on the board in the second innings. Bank on Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson to make the right decision at the toss.

Top Five KKR vs RR Betting Tips:

1. Total wickets in the match will be under 12.5

Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals mark formidable batting units as their primary strength in the ongoing IPL season. With conditions in Kolkata being ideal for batting, we are unlikely to see the total wickets tally cross the 13-wicket mark during the KKR vs RR fixture.

2. Joe Root to score over 19.5 runs

Joe Root made his Indian Premier League debut last Sunday in a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The veteran English batter did not get the opportunity to face any balls and will probably be seen batting in the IPL for the first time on Thursday. Root headed into the ongoing IPL season with ample hopes and a marathon knock from him is highly expected.

3. Shardul Thakur’s player performance will be over 22.5

Prominent Indian pacer Shardul Thakur returned for Kolkata Knight Riders after a brief injury break earlier this week. The right-arm pacer is known as the ‘man with the golden arm’ due to his wicket-taking ability across formats. Thakur further chips in with the bat at the lower order if needed.

4. Yuzvendra Chahal will be Rajasthan Royals’ top bowler

After bagging the purple cap last season, Yuzvendra Chahal has been Rajasthan Royals’ top contributor with the ball so far in the ongoing competition. Chahal has a whopping 17 dismissals to his name in 11 matches in IPL 2023, with an impressive average of 19.47. The elite leg spinner took a four-wicket haul in RR’s previous fixture, against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

5. Kolkata Knight Riders will be the team with the top bowler

Kolkata Knight Riders’ bowling unit has been hugely successful in home conditions throughout the ongoing IPL season. Kolkata features some world-class bowlers, especially spinners, in their star-studded bowling lineup. The list includes the likes of Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, Suyash Sharma and Shardul Thakur.

KKR vs RR Match Winner Prediction:

As things head to the business end of the tournament, Kolkata Knight Riders get ready to take on Rajasthan Royals, in what could turn out to be a high-scoring affair. KKR and RR rank fifth and fourth in the points tally respectively and the winning team is likely to climb up to the second position.

Even after being on a horrific three-match winning streak, Rajasthan Royals are considered favourites to win the high-octane game in Kolkata. A victory will be crucial for Rajasthan in order to keep their playoff hopes alive and we expect them to display a strong performance on Thursday.
