As usual the batting line-up of KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran has to step up.

KXIP will hope all-rounder Glenn Maxwell too will come good and then in the bowling, inform Mohammad Shami, Chris Jordan and Arshdeep Singh need to do the job with their pace as the spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Murugan Ashwin are doing well.  

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have 10 points from 12 matches and are sitting at seventh position and they too need to win this match to stay in the race of play-offs. In the last match they beat Mumbai Indians so they have the momentum with them.

The likes of Ben Stokes, Sanju Samson, Steve Smith and Jos Buttler have to score big runs and then in bowling, Jofra Archer who has been doing well will need good support from other bowlers like Kartik Tyagi, Shreyas Gopal and Rahul Tewatia.
