Welcome to the coverage of the 15th match of the Indian Premier League between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders in Jaipur on Wednesday.

The in-form Rajasthan Royals will be confident of a third consecutive victory when they take on a solid Kolkata Knight Riders.

Royals have turned it around with back-to-back wins after Sunrisers thrashed them in their opener.

They are on their home turf where they have seldom lost matches but they would still be wary of KKR who outplayed Delhi Daredevils rather comfortably in the previous encounter for their second win in four games.

With Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine at the top and big hitters like Dinesh Karthik, Robin Uthappa, Nitish Rana and Andre Russell in the middle, KKR have enough fire power and depth.

Their bowling too has the right balance with the deceptive Narine, the current purple cap holder in the tournament. Wily old horse Piyush Chawla and Kuldeep Yadav are capable of weaving a web around any batting side.

Rajasthan would once be looking at their young batting star Sanju Samon to continue his good run with the bat, while the English duo of Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler would be keen to prove their worth.
