IPL 2018 has changed colour over the last few days. The trend of chasing to win has given way to a new one – that of the par first innings scores getting a boost upwards.

KKR only needs to capitalise on the start they get. In the last match against DD, they lost three wickets and scored only one run in last over. For Rajasthan Royals, the other batsmen need to replicate what Samson has done for them so far.

With a doubt, RR’s Samson is one player to watch out for while his teammate Rahul Tripathi can be someone to watch out if promoted up the order. For Kolkata Knight Riders, Nitish Rana has shown his mettle in the last game while Russell has been scoring runs at a brilliant rate. In bowling unit, Kuldeep and Narine are the two spinners that can help KKR carry the momentum forward.
