Kolkata Knight Riders are searching for their first win as they host Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
RR won the toss and opt to bat first.
How Toss Results Have Favoured KKR
KKR could not turn their iconic home ground into a fortress last year, a season after emerging champions for the third time. In the six completed matches in Kolkata, KKR won the coin flip four times and opted to bat first on four occasions. However, Rahane’s men could only win one of those four games, worsening their chances. Of the two chases after winning the toss, KKR won one game.
Matches Won after Toss win at home: 1/4; Bat 1st: 1/2
RR’s Toss Record
During a lean run last year, RR had the favour of the coin toss on five of the seven matches. However, Rajasthan could not make any progress, dropping all five matches across different venues. In the two games on the road where the coin flip, RR held an equally unpredictable record with one win and one loss.
- Tosses won away from home: 5/7
- Matches won: 0/5
- Matches Won after Toss loss away: 1/2; Batting 1st: 1/1; Batting 2nd: 0/1
