Overview

KKR posted a convincing six-wicket win at home against the Daredevils in the IPL season opener on Wednesday, while the Royals held their nerves to produce a five-run victory in Delhi on Saturday, courtesy of a brilliant last over from Kevon Cooper; one of several West Indians who are making their mark in the IPL.

Rajasthan have an impressive record at home, having won 16 of their 25 fixtures in Jaipur. The Knight Riders, on the other hand, are on a five-match winning streak, stretching into last season, and will be keen continue that run.

There's nothing to separate these two sides as far as head-to-head stats are concerned, as both RR and Kolkata have won five matches each in the 10 previous meetings. The same fixture last season saw the Royals beating KKR by 22 runs.
