The 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has reached its business end now as most of the teams will have to witness some crunch game in the last week of the league stages of the IPL 2018. One of those crunch games will be played between the two teams who can be termed as rivals in terms of the players they have who were the part of the opposite franchise, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Kolkata.

Both the teams need to will their remaining two games in order to qualify for the IPL 2018 playoffs. The last time these two locked horns with each other, KKR has thrashed the hosts in Rajasthan with a comfortable win. However, there is no doubt about the fact that both the teams do have proven match-winners in their respective squads who can single-handedly take the game away from any opposition. Let us have a look at 5 such players from both the teams:

1. Dinesh Karthik (KKR)

In the last game against KXIP, Dinesh Karthik raced his way to his fastest IPL half-century (off 22 balls). He entered the ground at No. 5 in the 12th over and on the second ball that he faced, Dinesh hit a four through the third-man region off Axar Patel. It was at this point in time that Karthik and Andre Russell stitched a 76-run partnership, which came off 31 balls and strengthened Knight Riders’ position further in the match. On the penultimate delivery of the penultimate over, with a single through point off Andre Russell, Karthik brought up his first half-century of the season.
