Rajasthan Royals, led by Riyan Parag, are already out of playoff contention after a crushing 100-run loss to Mumbai Indians.
Defending champions KKR, with nine points from 10 games, must win nearly every match to stay in the top-four race. Their campaign under new skipper Ajinkya Rahane has fallen short of expectations.
Kolkata Knight Riders have won the toss and opted to bat first against Rajasthan Royals.
