Strength

Kolkata Knight Riders:

• From a world champion bowler in Pat Cummins to mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, KKR has a lot of varied bowling options to choose from.

Rajasthan Royals:

• In Buttler, Smith, Stokes, and Samson, they have one of the most dynamic top four that a T20 team could ever wish for.

• In Jofra Archer, they have one of the best T20 death over specialist.

Weakness

Kolkata Knight Riders:

• After the opening slot, KKR does not have any fixed position for any of their batsmen. This fluid approach may affect the stability of the team in the long run.
• The form of Dinesh Karthik is a huge worry for KKR.

Rajasthan Royals:

• RR’s bowling is a huge worry. The domestic bowlers must complement Jofra Archer big time.
• Sanju Samson and Steve Smith are struggling for consistency. Apart from a few matches, they haven’t clicked so far.
