#2 Kolkata Knight Riders (12 points from 12 games; NRR -0.18)

The Kolkata Knight Riders are riding high on confidence after a resounding win over KXIP. Though bowling has been a slight problem, it has been pleasing to see young guns like Shivam Mavi, Prasidh Krishna, Nitish Rana and Shubman Gill step up to the occasion.
Two wins from two games should ensure qualification.
The game against Rajasthan Royals will be crucial as a win for Kolkata will seal the fate of the re-emerging RR. The game against Hyderabad will also be a tough one, given the recent form of SRH as well as the earlier meeting between the two teams.
