Yashashi Jaiswal has been extremely consistent with his batting this year, having accumulated 439 runs at an average of 43.90 at a strike rate of 154.03. Expect him to deliver once again at the Eden Gardens.
With 13 wickets from 10 games, Varun Chakaravarthy has been delivering massively for Kolkata Knight Riders. He knows how to get things going, which one could figure out from his average of 21.46 and an exceptionally good economy rate of 7.15.
Batting first has been extremely efficient for teams in Kolkata this season, with the teams winning three games batting first, but in four out of five games, captains have decided to field first. The average first innings score at the venue this season has been 203 whereas the average first innings winning score is 212.
There is no threat of rain in Kolkata during the match between Kolkata and Rajasthan on Sunday. But the humidity level will test the players.
