RR vs KKR Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s IPL 2024 match – May 19, 2024

On Sunday, Rajasthan Royals (RR) will square off with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the last league match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.

The Royals suffered their fourth consecutive loss in the previous game against Punjab Kings by five wickets. They are currently ranked second in the points table with 16 points and will be eager to finish in the top two by beating KKR.

On the other hand, the Knight Riders' previous game against Gujarat Titans was abandoned due to a rain interruption after an 18-run win over Mumbai Indians. They are standing at the top of the points table with nine wins and three losses. They lost against Rajasthan Royals in the reverse fixture at Eden Gardens.

Phill Salt has returned to England for the World Cup prep. So, we can expect Rahmanullah Gurbaz to replace him as the opener with Sunil Narine.

On that note, here are the three players you could pick as the captain/vice-captain for the RR vs KKR Dream11 match.
