Rajasthan Royals will now travel to the Eden Gardens, Kolkata to take on their competitor in the playoffs race Kolkata Knight Riders. Both the teams have won their last matches and will be high on confidence. More importantly, both the teams are in the mid-table scramble and have the same amount of wins and losses. The match will almost be a knock-out. Here is how the dream team should look like.

Venue:

Eden Gardens, Kolkata – Average first innings score 156

Dream Team Selection:

Wicketkeeper:

Jos Buttler and Dinesh Karthik both are great options in the Wicketkeeper section. Both are in tremendous hitting form. With Buttler opening and aiming for his 6th consecutive fifty, he is the better option.

Batsmen:

Chris Lynn is an obvious choice, he can go berserk at the Eden Gardens. Sanju Samson and Ajinkya Rahane are good options from Rajasthan while Robin Uthappa and Nitish Rana can be picked from Kolkata. Another option is D’Arcy Short.

All-rounders:

Four very good all-rounder choices in this match. Ben Stokes, K.Gowtham, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine. Sunil Narine is a must pick with his opening batting. Andre Russell is dangerous but injury-prone. Stokes has not been himself yet. Gowtham is bowling in initial overs, he is a good pick.

Bowlers:

Piyush Chawla and Kuldeep Yadav generally do well at the Eden Gardens. Prasidh Krishna is a good option from KKR. Jofra Archer is an obvious choice from Rajasthan Royals. Shreyas Gopal is a good pick from RR.
