Team News

KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS

KKR is in fourth place on the standings, and after MI’s win last night, the squad is in a do-or-die situation. For KKR, this is a must-win game, and they must win by a large margin to increase their net run rate. The injury to Andre Russell is a huge blow for the club, and each player must handle and compensate for it. Kolkata Knight Riders defeated SRH in their last encounter to keep their prospects of making the IPL 2021 playoffs alive.

RAJASTHAN ROYALS

This year, Sanju Samson and his teammates had a terrible season. They have only 10 points and have lost 8 of their 13 games. They have a low chance of making the playoffs. They can only make it difficult for KKR to qualify for the playoffs. Rajasthan Royals, on the other side, are virtually out of the competition after losing by 8 wickets to Mumbai Indians in their previous match with 70 balls remaining. Their chances of qualifying are poor, given their net run rate is far lower than those of MI, PBKS, or KKR. They would still want to give it their all in this game.

KKR Vs RR Match Tips

The fate of the Kolkata Knight Riders is in their hands as they enter the last group encounter of the IPL 2021. If they win, they are unlikely to be passed by Mumbai Indians on net run rate, ensuring their place in the IPL Playoffs. Rajasthan Royals have already been eliminated from the competition, therefore the outcome of this match is irrelevant. Leading up to the final few games, RR has been in terrible form. It has lost three of its last four games and may want to give some of its younger players a chance in this one.
