Analysis:
Kolkata have looked like one of the top teams in the tournament so far with quality players in their squad. However, the two-time champions have struggled in their previous two matches against Delhi and Hyderabad. Their batting is led by Shreyas Iyer and Nitish Rana with all-rounders like Andre Russell and Venkatesh Iyer also providing balance. In the bowling, the duo of Pat Cummins and Sunil Narine look reliable with both capable with the bat too.
On the other hand, Rajasthan were arguably the best team in the tournament before losing to Gujarat in their previous match. Jos Butler, Shimron Hetmyer and Sanju Samson lead their batting responsibilities while Yuzvendra Chahal and Prasidh Krishna have dominated as the top bowlers.
