Here we are going to discuss strengths and weakness of Kings XI Punjab as well as of Rajasthan Royals and will also make our KXIP vs RR Today Match Prediction –
Strengths :
Kings XI Punjab’s strength is their top order batting line up of KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran as all these batsmen have been superb with bat and in the absence of Mayank Agarwal Mandeep Singh has done a good job so they have an inform batting line up who can do wonders at any stage. In bowling Mohammad Shami has been excellent and he is getting good support from Chris Jordan and spin duo of Murugan Ashwin and Ravi Bishnoi.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals’ strength is also their batting line up of Ben Stokes, Sanju Samson, Steven Smith and Jos Buttler as all these batsmen are match winners of this format. Stokes just scored a big hundred and that’s a good thing for the Royals that their top order batsmen are among runs at present. In the bowling Jofra Archer has been awesome since the start and in his support young Kartik Tyagi has done well and the likes of Shreyas Gopal and Rahul Tewatia too have done well in the last three to four matches.
Weaknesses :
Kings XI Punjab’s weakness is their middle order batting as Deepak Hooda, Glenn Maxwell are out of form and then in death overs their bowlers struggle so they need to work on these areas.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals’ weakness is the inconsistency of their batsmen as Samson, Stokes, Buttler and Smith all couldn’t score runs consistently and then in the bowling apart from Jofra Archer and Kartik Tyagi other bowlers have leaked so many runs in the middle and death overs.
Here we are going to discuss both Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals’s playing combination and probable playing XIs who will be useful for making KXIP vs RR Dream11 Team
Kings XI Punjab might make one change if Mayank Agarwal is fit to play else they will continue with the same playing 11 who played in the last match against Knight Riders. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals might drop out of form Ankit Rajpoot for Varun Aaron.

KXIP vs RR Today IPL Match Prediction :

KL Rahul : Captain of Punjab has scored 567 runs in this tournament so far – the most by any batsman and in the last two matches he didn’t score big runs so he will look to play a big knock and in the first meeting against Royals he scored 60 odd runs.
Ben Stokes : All rounder Stokes was having a dull tournament but in the last match against Mumbai Indians he smashed 107* runs and will look to continue from where he left.
Chris Gayle : He has been good since his first match as he has played three match winning knocks including two fifties and given his form he should enjoy Rajasthan’s bowling.
Sanju Samson : The talented wicket keeper batsmen has three fifties to his name in this tournament and in the last match he played a winning knock of 50 odd runs and once again he will look to put up a good show.
