Rajasthan Royals go into this match seeking a quick turnaround and Kolkata Knight Riders will aim to build on their win in game two. It’s as simple as that. Rajasthan’s batting looks a bit thin without Shane Watson, putting a lot of pressure on Graeme Smith. The game could turn into a battle of the spinners Warne vs Mendis.
My bets are with Rajasthan to win this one, excepting a special innings from Gayle, McCullum or Ganguly.
Teams (probable)
Rajasthan Royals: (probable) 1 Graeme Smith, 2 Swapnil Asnodkar, 3 Yusuf Pathan, 4 Tyron Henderson, 5 Dimitri Mascarenhas, 6 Ravindra Jadeja, 7 Abhishek Raut, 8 Shane Warne (capt.), 9 Mahesh Rawat (wk), 10 Munaf Patel, 11 Kamran Khan.
Kolkata Knight Riders: (probable) 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Brendon McCullum (capt/wk), 3 Brad Hodge, 4 Sourav Ganguly, 5 Aakash Chopra/Wriddhiman Saha, 6 Yashpal Singh, 7 Laxmi Shukla, 8 Ishant Sharma, 9 Murali Kartik, 10 Ashok Dinda, 11 Ajantha Mendis.
