The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are all set to play their next clash of IPL 2021 against Rajasthan Royals on October 07, 2021. While the Royals have been ruled out of the race for qualifying or have much in hand at the moment, it would be a great chance for KKR to strengthen their position for playoffs in the same game. KKR won their last game against SRH by six wickets. However, two of their star players Lockie Ferguson and Andre Russell couldn’t be part of the game due to their respective injuries.

As of now, it seems that KKR team management will get a sigh of relief as both Ferguson and Russell have started training and might be seen in their next contest against Rajasthan. As Russell and Ferguson missed the action in recent times, Shakib Al Hasan and Tim Seifert got their chances with KKR.

“Where is Russell? Where is Lockie?” Well, they are at the training ground, firing in all cylinders” posted KKR.

It was a low-scoring affair between KKR and SRH and after the game, skipper Eoin Morgan has also turned to be a matter of concern and it remains to be seen if he can contribute with the bat in the next game.

Eoin Morgan had said, “The wicket played slower than we thought than the wicket two nights ago. It swings early in the powerplay in these conditions, but it was sluggish. We needed to bowl and field well and we did. Shubman played extremely well and led the chase. The depth of the squad to be able to call Shakib is a huge luxury, so he has had a huge impact.”

He further added, “We didn’t know it wouldn’t be played in India, and we have done well in the conditions and adapted well. We are focussed on playing good cricket and we’ve done that in the last three weeks. The game plan has had a good impact in the dressing room and guys are putting their hands up. We have done well to adapt to the slow conditions and I’m happy with that,” he added.
