Rajasthan Royals are having tough time in this year IPL. They are in a situation where a win in today’s match is not a ticket for the semi-finals. They still have to wait for the other teams performances and the only way they can keep their postion strong is by winning over Kolkata by larger margin, which will boost their Run Rate. Kolkata stuns everybody in their last match with Chennai Super Kings. The team is out of the semi-finals but with their last win they have realized everybody they can still turn the table for other teams. For Rajasthan, Ravindra Jadeja holds the key, Yusuf Pathan seems to be out of form after a brilliant start in the IPL 2009. For Kolkata, Brendon McCullum is finally back in the form. Its quite late for the team but his form can change the game for other teams. So an intersting match to watch out for.
