With five victories in six games, RR leads the standings, while KKR is in second position after winning four of their five games.
Sanju Samson versus Sunil Narine

According to ESPNcricinfo, Narine has excused Samson threefold in 82 balls in the IPL.
Strikingly, Samson has overseen only 66 runs off Narine in such manner. The count incorporates a pitiful strike pace of 80.48.
Riyan Parag versus Varun Chakravarthy
One more RR star who has been in great structure this year is Riyan Parag.
His count of 220 runs in overs somewhere in the range of 7 and 15 this season is the most for any hitter.

Chakravarthy has scalped five wickets this season (trama center: 9.11).
Sunil Narine versus Trent Boult
Narine has likewise been in heavenly structure with the bat. RR would have no desire to see his massacre.
Trent Boult will have the onus to inexpensively excuse the dapper opener.
Prominently, the left-arm pacer has excused Narine two times in only eight balls in IPL.
Boult’s count of 46 powerplay wickets in the IPL is the most for any bowler beginning around 2020.
Andre Russell versus Yuzvendra Chahal
RR will save the best for Andre Russell, who has been striking at a thrilling 212.96 in IPL 2024.
Since Russell has gained notoriety for gagging against a spinners, RR could utilize Yuzvendra Chahal against him.
