KKR vs RR 2021 Match Preview
The first round of the match played between KKR and RR in April 2021 gave a boost to RR’s confidence as they won by 6 wickets with 7 balls left. A captain’s innings from Sanju Samson and a 4-wicket haul by Chris Morris made it an easy game for RR to win. The KKR captain Eoin Morgan getting out for a duck clearly demotivated KKR’s batting line-up. So, what is our KKR vs RR prediction for this game? Read on to find out.
Unlike the IPL match prediction of 2018 and 2020, the year 2021 saw a strong KKR team under the able captaincy of Eoin Morgan. KKR had been predicted to be one of the semi-finalists before the series began. Let’s see if KKR can turn it around for the remainder of the IPL 2021 season.
Pitch Report
The pitch lacks grass, and this will make it difficult for the bowlers to get wickets. The match prediction will highly depend on the team who wins the toss and elects to bat first. This is mainly because the footmarks of the bowlers from the team bowling first make the pitch rough. The batsmen of the team batting second will have difficulty scoring runs especially against the spin bowlers.
The cricket match prediction sites consider the pitch condition as one of the important factors while determining the odds. So even though RR won the match against KKR earlier this year, we feel our prediction will be impacted due to the change of venue.
KKR vs RR match prediction
- Toss Winner – KKR
- Top Batsman (Runs Scored) – Eoin Morgan
- Leading Wicket Taker – Varun Chakravarthy
- Most 6s – Nitish Rana

- Today’s IPL match prediction on who will win the match is clearly in favour of KKR
As per Dream 11’s today match prediction, though RR has match confidence KKR has gotten their act together as a team and shown some good performances, especially against PBKS. They also gave a tough fight to Delhi Capitals, though they lost that game. Chris Morris from RR can be a game-changer if supported by the spin bowlers. So this KKR vs RR match can be one with a surprise ending too, but KKR should win it.
But as they say, even the best cricket prediction can change. One has to wait until the last ball is bowled to know the final winner. So check the full IPL 2021 schedule and put your money where your mind is.
