IPL 2024: Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bowl first against Kolkata Knight Riders. Sanju Samson said that Jos Buttler and Ravichandran Ashwin will make a comeback in this match. At the same time, Kolkata will be seen playing without any changes in this match. Four foreign players were included in Kolkata's playing XI. These include Phil Salt, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Mitchell Starc. While Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell and Trent Boult will be seen playing as overseas players for Rajasthan.
The pitch at Eden Gardens is known to support spinners and medium pacers. However, in one of the two matches played on this pitch this year, the 200-run mark has been crossed in both the innings, so there is a possibility that the flow of runs will increase.
Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals have met a total of 28 times in the history of IPL. Kolkata won 14 of these matches. So, Rajasthan managed to win in 13 matches. Apart from this, one match ended in a draw. Both the teams will look to win against each other after their excellent performances this season.
In the history of IPL, out of 88 matches played at this ground, 36 matches have been won by the teams batting first. So, 52 matches have been lost by teams batting second. RR have won only three of the 10 matches they have played at Eden Gardens.
