Dream 11 Fantasy IPL 2023 tips for Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals (11th May)

The Kolkata Knight Riders will be taking on the Rajasthan Royals in the 56th match of the Indian Premier league 2023. The match will be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, West Bengal.
The Rajasthan Royals had gained a worthy momentum in the first half of the tournament but they were off colour in the second half. They derailed and promptly lost their winning Path.
Initially in the tournament they won four out of four games and later they suddenly lost five out of five games. If they desire to recapture their drive that they possessed in the beginning, they will have to play some wholesome and enterprising cricket. Their main bowler Trent Boult has looked out of sorts in the second half of the tournament.
Batting has not been their problem at all but their bowling has gone off the boil in a few matches which they lost. The bowlers need to get their act together or their hopes of progressing any further will have a huge dent.
As for as the Kolkata Knight Riders go, the problem with them has been the other way around. Their bowling has been inspiring, but their batting line up has deserted them big time. Due to their inconsistency, they have not been able to form stable batting partnerships throughout the tournament. Finding a fix to this problem quickly is a must or it will be too late for them, as this tournament is rapidly moving towards its business end. Not only the Kolkata Knight Riders but every team in the tournament needs to buckle itself up at this stage.
As far as IPL 2023 goes it has been nothing short of an accelerating spectacle. We have been treated to some glittering and highly sparkling cricket throughout the tournament. Witnessing of this shining Jewel called the TATA IPL deserves a befitting conclusion.
