It’s the last round of matches in IPL 2021 and we have two with two completely different objectives coming into this game. There’s Kolkata Knight Riders who has 6 wins in their 13 games in IPL 2021 and they’re fighting for qualification but on the other hand, we have a team which has only 5 wins in their 13 games and a win or loss is inconsequential today as they’re already knocked out of the tournament. This is the second game of the day after Chennai vs Punjab.
We’re talking about Rajasthan Royals and you can expect this team to play free and fearless cricket, maybe even testing their bench strength today. On the other hand, KKR will field their best team because they not only have to win but they watch the MI’s game and ensure the latter doesn’t qualify with a big win.

Kolkata Knight Riders
It’s been 5 games since Nitish Rana got a score of below 20 runs, so he’s in great form and probably itching to get out of these starts and make a big contribution, so pick him in your KOL vs RR fantasy team for today. On the other hand, there’s Rahul Tripathi who has been contributing in almost every game and is their top scorer of IPL 2021. He can be picked while you may be tempted to pick Shubman Gill who got a fifty in the last game.
Lockie Ferguson and Andre Russell have been out with injuries but their replacements have been brilliant so far. Shakib al Hasan has been difficult to get away and while he’s not batted much yet, his 4 overs will be super crucial, getting 1/20 in the last game. On this slow spinning track, the pacers may not be super effective so I’d not pick Tim Southee but instead their leading spinner, Varun Chakravarthy, who is also their top bowler in IPL 2021.
Rajasthan Royals
Closing in on 500 runs this season, Sanju Samson has had a decent IPL 2021 but then again, he’s never been too consistent so we’ll drop him from our My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) KOL vs RR fantasy team today and instead, pick Shivam Dube who only got into the team a couple of games ago and has looked really good with the bat so far. With 249 runs in 9 games, their opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal has also been good in the last 3-4 games.

Playing at Sharjah, Mustafizur Rahman will be a perfect for for this kind of a pitch where spinners and pacers with variations will do well, so you can pick him as well as the other left-arm pacer in Chetan Sakariya. Talking about spin, there’s Rahul Tewatia who has only come into the limelight in the last couple of games and we think there’s a big innings coming up from him because he’s been looking confident of late.
