IPL 2017 Match 30: Here is RPS's likely Playing XI against KKR

In the last match, Pune eked out a three-run victory over Mumbai Indians in a thrilling encounter and their skipper Steve Smith would be hoping for similar performance from his boys.

With their convincing wins against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, Pune are finally coming on winning path. Team has won 4 off the 7 games played so far and has a chance of making it to play-offs if it continues playing the way they play.

Will captain Steve Smith make any changes to the Playing XI or retain the same winning combination against Kolkata? Pune seemed a batsman short in the encounter against Mumbai at Wankhede. And despite a win against Mumbai, team would consider making just one change.

Australian all-rounder Dan Christian might be rested to make way for South African batsman Faf du Plessis as his presence will strengthen Pune batting against Kolkata's lethal bowling attack.

1. Ajinkya Rahane
