After the last match win against RCB, KKR has learned one thing for certain that there will be days when the bowlers will have to stand up and accept responsibility. RPS, on the other hand, would be hoping they have that one emphatic day on the field which will give them the morale and the confidence to go forward in the tournament. KKR will have to be wary about big hitters from RPS. One thing is obvious, either team that wins the toss will field first.
Kolkata Knight Riders chased 66 (D/L adjusted target) and 161 to win both at home and away against Rising Pune Supergiant in 2016.
MS Dhoni has struggled against Sunil Narine in T20s. He has managed only 27 runs off 54 balls.
Ajinkya Rahane will also be hoping for a big knock as he is due.
