While the Royals came under fire from Sunrisers’ enterprising show, even after responding with 242/6, they fell 44 runs short of the hammering they witnessed in the first innings. On the other hand, the Knight Riders’ opening game saw them getting handsomely beaten by RCB by seven wickets.
Riyan Parag and his team will look to change their fortunes, hoping to put on a good show with the ball, which took quite a beating—especially with frontline pacer Jofra Archer conceding 76 runs, the worst figures in the league’s history. However, the way the batters responded, with Sanju Samson (66), Dhruv Jurel (70), Shimron Hetmyer (42), and Shubham Dubey (34*), would give the Royals bundles of confidence to open their account.

On the other hand, KKR can take inspiration from their new skipper Ajinkya Rahane‘s marvellous start (56) and Sunil Narine’s fiery 44 at the top. However, the collapse in the middle overs didn’t help their cause, as Iyer, Rinku, and Russell were found wanting. While the bowlers had a terrible run as well—except for Sunil Narine’s 1/27—each one was taken to the cleaners. Varun Chakravarthy will have to find his mojo again, along with the pacers, if KKR wants to get on the points table.
