Rajasthan Royals start their chase. The onus will be on Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi to get off to a good start. Can they do it though?

Kolkata Knight Riders have finished strongly here!!! At one stage, the 200-run mark looked far, but the Russell storm made it possible. KKR have posted 206 runs for the loss of four wickets in 20 overs. Rajasthan Royals were really poor with the ball. Can they chase it down?

Andre Russell has smacked a half-century off just 22 balls. A much needed knock for him and KKR.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi is OUT!! He did well yet again, scoring 44 runs off 31 balls, proving his worth.

Finally!! Andre Russell has struck gold in this season. KKR are 172/3 after 18 overs and with Russell going crazy, they should cross the 200-run mark.

KKR are 113/3 after 14 overs. Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Andre Russell are in the middle and KKR are looking set to post a good total here. Royals will need quick wickets to restrict them.

Ajinkya Rahane is OUT!! Riyan Parag strikes!! A much-needed wicket for the Rajasthan Royals here! Andre Russell has come in to bat and it is a huge surprise by KKR.

KKR are looking set for a big score here. 107/2 after 12 overs and with eight wickets in hand, they are really looking set for a score close to 200.

KKR have recovered well after losing Narine early. Rahmanullah Gurbaz played his part, while Ajinkya Rahane is also looking good. Angkrish Raghuvanshi is getting his eye in and a score around 170 looks a given for now. KKR are 78/2 after nine overs.

Gurbaz is taking on the bowling of the Royals. They are 43/1 after 5 overs and things are looking good for KKR after a slow start!!

Yudhvir Singh Charak strikes!! Sunil Narine has been dismissed early in the second over of the innings. KKR are 13/1 after 2 overs.

Gurbaz and Narine are opening for KKR. Jofra Archer is opening the bowling for the Royals. Can he strike early? Here we go!!!

Rajasthan Royals (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Riyan Parag(c), Kunal Singh Rathore, Dhruv Jurel(w), Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Akash Madhwal

Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane(c), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Moeen Ali, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Vaibhav Arora

Kolkata Knight Riders have won the toss and opted to bat first. They have made two changes as Moeen Ali and Ramandeep Singh return to the side.

Rajasthan Royals have made three changes to their playing XI.

Rajasthan Royals will be playing for pride and maybe a bit with an aim to spoil the party of the other games. KKR are still very much in the hunt but they need to win every game and hence, a win on Sunday for the Royals can spoil the hosts' plans.

Apart from a knock for Venkatesh Iyer, one from Quinton de Kock and a couple of them by Ajinkya Rahane, KKR haven't really had one batter playing a long 80-90 run innings to truly bat the opposition out of the game and that has been their issue through this season. Can they turn around a corner in the remaining games?

Kolkata Knight Riders have blown hot and cold in the ongoing IPL season with one win, one loss and haven't been as consistent as they would have liked. Being in a must-win position, the Knight Riders have no option but to win anything and everything from here, hence, that win against the Delhi Capitals was timely as well as crucial.
