Subhabrata Mukherjee :- On Saturday night at Wankhede stadium, Mumbai Eoin Morgan's Kolkata knight Riders will lock horns with Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals. Both teams are not in a good shape in their ongoing campaign at Indian Premier League ( IPL 2021). They are literally out of win and in a bad position when it comes to point table.

Rajasthan Royals is hit by injury problems as they have lost Ben Stokes through finger injury and Jofra Archer through elbow injury. Both of them are out of this year's tournament. Liam Livingstone flew back to England as he felt fatigue staying in bio bubble. In their last match Rajasthan was handed a thumping defeat by Royal Challengers Bangalore. They would try to get back to winning ways vs Kolkata knight Riders.

On the other hand Kolkata after winning their first match has failed to register a win thereafter. In their last match vs Chennai Super Kings they almost pulled off a thriller only to fall short by just 18 runs. Their openers need to fire to make life easy for batsmen to follow. They would love to beat Rajasthan today to get back winning ways today. Here take a look at what we think is the predicted XI for both the teams.

∆ Rajasthan Royals :-

Jos Buttler, Manan Vohra/Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (C and WK), David Miller, Shivam Dube, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Shreyas Gopal/Jaydev Unadkat, Chetan Sakariya, Mustafizur Rahman.

∆ Kolkata Knight Riders :-

Nitish Rana, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Eoin Morgan (C), Sunil Narine, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Andre Russell, Pat Cummins, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Varun Chakravarthy, Prasidh Krishna.
