Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won their second match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) after getting thrashed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the season opener. Quinton de Kock missed his hundred by just three runs. They have a commendable spin attack comprising Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy. Narine will be making a comeback from injury, as confirmed by KKR coach Chandrakant Pandit. KKR’s firepower in the lower order makes them a dangerous side for any opponent.
