KKR vs RR Toss Prediction

Two of the last three games played at the Eden Gardens have been won by the side bowling first. And since the wicket at this ground tends to remain the same across the 40 overs, the toss-winning skipper will probably elect to bowl first.

Kolkata Knight Riders Team News

1)Rinku Singh impressed with the bat and is likely to be retained.

2)KC Cariappa could be replaced by kuldeep yadav as he was very much expensive in last match.

3)Lockie Ferguson can be given one more chance in place of Harry Gurney.

3)Yaara Prithviraj can be given one more chance as he looked impressive in last game.
