IPL 2021 LIVE: KKR vs RR Dream11 Prediction – Playing XI, Captain, Vice-Captain, Fantasy Tips. The two-time IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns with the inaugural IPL champions Rajasthan Royals today. The IPL match will take place at Sharjah Cricket Stadium – Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.
Preview
Kolkata Knight Riders are currently fourth in the IPL 2021 points table. The two-time IPL champions have managed to win six games but lost as many as seven games.
Eoin Morgan-led team has a Net Run Rate of +0.294. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals are seventh in the standings with 5 wins and 8 defeats this season.
Although KKR and RR have secured 10 points so far, it is the NRR that keeps KKR on top. RR has a poor Net Run Rate of -0.737. The Royals need a massive net-run-rate swing.
As a result, we can expect them to bowl first and then give themselves the opportunity to chase a target in the shortest span. Eoin Morgan is always good at fielding first.
KKR and RR have had intense battles since the inception of the IPL. Both teams met each other on 23 occasions. KKR managed to win 12 games while RR won 11 games. KKR might be leading the head-to-head record by one victory but Rajasthan Royals won the last meeting. The Royals beat the Knight Riders by 6 wickets at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
