IPL 2021 – RR Playing XI vs KKR: With a thumping 8 wickets defeat against Mumbai Indians, Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals are almost out of the fourth spot contention in the IPL 2021. The eight wickets not only pushed them down to the seventh spot, but it also took a toll on their net run rate as Rajasthan now has the worst NRR in the tournament. While they have the least chances of making it to the knockout stage, they would look to dent Kolkata Knight Riders’ playoff hopes and end the campaign on a positive. Both teams will square off at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah tomorrow evening. Follow IPL 2021 live updates on Insidesport.in and live streaming on Star Sports & Hotstar.

- A defeat against KKR will knock them out of contention
- Apart from winning a win over KKR, Sanju Samson’s side also need Mumbai Indians to lose their final fixture against SRH
