On Sunday, May 19, Rajasthan Royals (RR) will host Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 70th match of IPL 2024 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
RR will be hoping to break their four-match losing streak as it will decide their final spot in the top three. They currently find themselves in the second position, winning eight and losing five games.
Kolkata Knight Riders, meanwhile, continue their dominance at the top of the table despite their previous game against Gujarat Titans being washed out. They have lost three games this season including the reverse fixture against RR at Eden Gardens.
On that note, here are three differential picks you can opt for in the upcoming RR vs KKR Dream11 match.
#3 Harshit Rana (KKR) – 7.5 credits
Harshit Rana has been the second-highest wicket-taker for KKR this season with 16 wickets in 10 matches at an impressive strike rate of 12.81.
Rana has taken seven wickets in his last three games. He also took two wickets against RR earlier in the season and would look to add a couple more in the upcoming game.
#2 Yuzvendra Chahal (RR) – 9.0 credits
Yuzvendra Chahal has taken 17 wickets in 13 matches this season at an average of 27.58 and economy of 9.38. He took two wickets in the previous match against Punjab Kings.
Chahal has an excellent record against KKR, taking 15 wickets in the last seven games, including a four and five-wicket haul. Thus, he could be a great pick for your RR vs KKR Dream11 teams.
#1 Avesh Khan (RR) – 7.5 credits
Avesh Khan has been among the wickets for RR this season. He has taken 13 wickets in as many games at a decent economy of 9.71.
Avesh has played seven matches vs KKR in the IPL, bagging 12 wickets, including two in the reverse fixture at Eden Gardens. The 27-year-old could be the difference maker in the KKR vs RR Dream11 match.
