Kolkata Knight Riders will be desperate to halt their five-match losing streak when they take on Rajasthan Royals tonight at the Wankhede Stadium.

With just three wins from nine encounters, the Shreyas Iyer-led KKR are in a spot of bother. They have to win their remaining five games to keep alive their chances of making the playoffs. If KKR lose today, they will equal their 2019 record of losing six matches in a row. In 2009 IPL, they lost nine consecutive matches.
