Shubman Gill: One of the young stars to dominate the headlines this season is young Shubman Gill who has impressed one-and-all with his batting in the competition so far and if given a chance will look to put up another strong performance and finish off the innings for his side. Kolkata win and stay third on the table, whereas Rajasthan too remain fourth. We take a look at how they might lineup for the match against Rajasthan Royals on May 23. It's all over! the times of india | jun 27, 2018, 15:21:05 ist Live: Indian Premier League, 2018 KKR vs RR, IPL 2018: Knight Riders beat Royals by six wickets, edge closer to playoffs After stumbling, tripping and crawling, Kolkata Knight Riders have finally found momentum which has carried them into the playoffs. J Unadkat to D Karthik, Beaten! In this case, KXIP, MI and RCB will finish with 12 points and RR will go through to the playoffs along with KKR. KKR seem to have found their team composition and in Dinesh Karthik, they have a leader who is at the peak of his prowess as a player which is having a great impact on his decision making as the captain of the side.

Kolkata finished the league stage with 16 points while RR narrowly escaped elimination with a win over a mercurial RCB. Sunil Narine: Before this season, Narine was a spinner who could chip in with the bat, but this season he has been a revelation with the bat and he was out in full colour against the Rajasthan Royals in their last league match. He then formed another partnership with Karthik and that more or less sealed the deal.

He has been the finisher for the side and has played several dazzling innings and on the field, after a jittery start, he has looked far more relaxed and convincing in his decision making. Waits for the length ball to come to him before opening the face and running it past Jos Buttler, to the third man boundary.

KKR vs RR Eliminator: The second of the 3 playoff fixtures is all set to get underway as KKR take on the Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens. A quick single is stolen. J Unadkat to D Karthik, FOUR! His outstanding 4-fer, which included the likes of Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes, was instrumental in inflicting a Rajasthan collapse.
