The match 21 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 will be going to take place between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on Sunday, April 7.
Andre Russell is single-handedly winning matches to his team at the moment and the latest team to suffer his blitz was the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). With big boundaries at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, it will be interesting to see whether he manages to replicate the same kind of hitting.
The Royals are high on confidence after winning their previous encounter against the RCB and would be keen on carrying the momentum further.
