KKR v RR: 54th IPL Match Preview:

Kolkata Knight Riders' batting wasn't challenged much in the last match. Shubman Gill scored fifty while Nitish Rana supported him. Venkatesh Iyer is the key player for KKR - who is not only in fine form with the bat but with ball as well. 

Shakib Al Hasan can be a game-changer, especially in the slow pitches of Sharjah. Watch out for Sunil Narine. 

Yashavi Jaiswal has consistently done well up the order for Rajasthan Royals this season. If Evin lewis is not available, Liam Livingstone could replace him at the top. Chris Morris, too, can come back in the playing XI in place of David Miller.
