IPL 2022: Pitch report for Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders match

The pitch at the Brabourne Stadium generally assists both bowlers and batsmen and in last two matches, the batsmen and bowlers have benefitted from that. The short boundaries and a quick outfield along with the dew factor will be in the mind of the captain who wins the toss. 

IPL 2022: RR vs KKR fantasy tips

Jos Buttler: Currently the leading run-getter in IPL 2022, Jos Buttler will be eyeing a big score in the RR vs KKR match. The wicket-keeper batsman has scored 272 runs in this tournament so far.

Yuzvendra Chahal: The leg spinner has been fantastic for Royals this season picking up 12 wickets so far. He is currently the purple cap holder and would want to retain it by the end of the match.

Andre Russell: The West Indies all-rounder has smashed 179 runs and grabbed 5 wickets in this tournament so far.

Pat Cummins: The Australia Test skipper started the tournament with a bang against Mumbai Indians and has since then little to show with the bat and ball. He would be hoping to put up a better all-around performance having already scored 63 runs and taken 3 wickets in this tournament so far.
