RR vs KKR, IPL match highlights: Sanju Samson, Chris Morris star in RR's 6-wicket win over KKR

A single to deep point from Nitish Rana's bat to the end 2nd over of the KKR innings. Chetan Sakariya has given 5 runs in his first over. No sing on swing so far but the RR bowlers are bowling to the field and so far have been able to keep the boundaries away.

Tucked away off the backfoot and Shubman Gill takes a quick single to get off the mark today. He needs a good score to get back in the groove.

Starts off with a wide down the leg side. Sakariya has been superb with the ball and a sort of a revelation for the Royals this year. Will he be amongst the wickets again?

A slower delivery from Unadkat to end the over with a dot ball, a very good start from the experienced seamer, only 3 runs from it but more importantly he hit the right areas. KKR 3/0 after 1 over.

Short and wide from Unadkat and Rana cuts to square of the wicket but there is protection, the fielder comes around it but not before Rana comes back for a couple. KKR are off the mark.

Jaydebv Unadkat starts with a good length delivery which was safely negotiated with a defensive backfoot push from Nitish Rana. Looks like the pitch has good carry.

Shubman Gill and Nitish Rana will open the batting for KKR after RR opted to bowl first. The two young Indian cricketers need to bat well against RR new ball bowlers Chetan Sakariya and Jaydev Unadkat.

This will be the 50th match for Rahul Tripathi in the IPL.

Eoin Morgan is 43 runs away from completing 7,000 runs across T20s.

Andre Russell is 28 runs away from completing 6,000 runs across T20s.

Dinesh Karthik is 8 runs away from completing 1,000 runs for KKR in IPL.

I think everybody would be in the same boat. We did play a game the other night where 220 seemed to be enough. We are playing our second game at the Wankhede and we are better off knowing the conditions. The game that is played here suits our game and hopefully we can rectify them today. It was a great game of cricket: KKR captain Eoin Morgan at the toss.

I like to appreciate the team members, management and everyone in the team, they are coping up with it really well as there are a lot of positives even after losing few key players; Jofra, Stokes and Liam just felt, we are still having a positive atmosphere and we trust our players to win matches. We haven't said much, in a tournament like IPL there are going to be ups and downs, it is about trusting your players and playing some good cricket: RR captain Sanju Samson.

Nitish Rana, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Eoin Morgan(c), Dinesh Karthik(w), Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Pat Cummins, Varun Chakravarthy, Shivam Mavi, Prasidh Krishna

Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson(w/c), David Miller, Shivam Dube, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Jaydev Unadkat, Chetan Sakariya, Mustafizur Rahman

RR have expectedly dropped Manan Vohra and picked Yashasvi Jaiswal while Jaydev Unadkat has replaced Shreyas Gopal.

KKR, on the other hand, have gone in with Shivam Mavi in place of Kamlesh Nagarkoti.

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bowl first against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Fasten your seatbelts and expect another high-scoring encounter today. Keeping the small dimensions of he ground and the placid batting track, the team winning the toss should opt to field first: Darren Ganga and Nick Knight with the pitch report at Wankhede in Mumbai.

Former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris says RR bowlers need to bowl full and wide to KKR's Andre Russell with two fielders in the point and third man region and mix it up with fast bouncers aimed at his body to cramp him for room. Will that be enough to stop Dre Russ? Only time will tell, we are 10 minutes away from RR vs KKR match toss.

Nitish Rana and Rahul Tripathi have so far outperformed the big guns of KKR. The two uncapped cricketers have been steering the KKR top-order in this IPL. They will have to deal with the couple of Royals left-armers Mustafizur Rahman and Chetan Sakariya today.

Kolkata Knigh Riders might birng back Harbhajan Singh to their side. Here is our KKR Predicted XI vs RR: Subman Gill, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi, Eoin Morgan (C), Dinesh Karthik (wk), Andre Russell , Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins, Varun Chakravarthy, Harbhajan Singh, Kamlesh Nagarkoti

The captains winning the toss generally want to chase as Wankhede is a high scoring venue but you never know what might be in store in an IPL match between two teams desperate for a win.

The Rajasthan Royals might make a few changes to their side. Here is our RR Predicted XI vs KKR: Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Shivam Dube, David Miller, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Jaydev Unadkat, Andrew Tye, Chetan Sakariya

A lot was expected from Shubman Gill. The right-hander is the only permanent member in the Indian squad among all players in the KKR side but the youngster has been disappointing in the four matches that he has played so far. He would be looking to put up a solid show on a batting-friendly Wankhede track and a relatively weak RR bowling unit.

IPL costliest ever pick - ₹16.25 Cr - Chris Morris helped RR win the game against DC by hitting four sixes in the last two overs but apart from that his returns have been moderate in IPL 2021. The South African all-rounder has been far from impressive with the ball and that has hurt the Royals a great deal.

His captaincy skills has been top notch but KKR captain Eoin Morgan has ben woefully short of runs in this IPL. The quality left-hander who bats at the crucial No.4 position for KKR, needs to come good for KKR, which can solve a lot of their problems. The England captain, however, asserted that he has been batting well in the nets and it's only a matter of time before he gets a big one.

The Rajasthan Royals’ bowlers have picked up the second fewest wickets this season (19) and a lot has to do with their spinners not performing well this year. Shreyas Gopal, Rahul Tewatia and Raiyan Parag have only taken 2 wickets in this IPL so far. They have also conceded runs at over 10 an over. Their key spinner Shreyas Gopal is yet to pick a wicket this season and has conceded at over 12 an over.

Apart from Russell's form, Sunil Narine's performance with the ball against CSK in his first match of this year's IPL was one of the biggest positives for KKR. The experienced spinner can be handy to keep the runs down on a placid Mumbai track.
