KKR look to come back strong against Royals

After a rollicking start to their IPL V campaign, Rajasthan Royals will look to continue the winning momentum when they face Kolkata Knight Riders in Jaipur on Sunday. KKR will be equally keen to bounce back from a humiliating defeat in their opening match against Delhi Daredevils on Thursday.

Led by the recently-retired Rahul Dravid, Rajasthan beat Kings XI Punjab by 31 runs on Friday and the former India skipper will hope that his boys would come up with an equally good performance on Sunday.

Kolkata Knight Riders too would be eager to put their humiliating eight-wicket defeat behind them when they start in the day match on Sunday to be played in the scorching heat at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

The Royals were impressive against Kings XI and Kevon Cooper was the find of the match. The little-known Caribbean cricketer impressed with his all-round capabilities by adding 11 runs off three balls and then bowling with guile to grab four for 26 apart from displaying his agility on the field.
