KKR vs RR Dream11 Prediction: Kolkata Knight Riders will face Rajasthan Royals in an IPL 2021 match on Thursday (October 7 which is the most significant in the season for them. A win will virtually assure them a place in the IPL 2021 play-offs after a season full of twists and turns.

Three teams – Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore – have already assured a place for themselves in the knockouts, and now it is a direct competition between Kolkata and Mumbai Indians for the 4th slot.

MI also have 12 points like the KKR, but the net run rate of defending champions Mumbai is far behind the Kolkatans. A win for KKR against RR ensures them 14 points and an even better net run rate that the Mumbai side will find tough to overhaul and would require a victory by some improbable margin to do so.

But in the case of KKR taste a defeat against the Rajasthan Royals, then Mumbai will go through to the Play-offs if they emerge winner in their last league encounter against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. And in the event of both the teams losing, and Punjab Kings beat Chennai Super Kings then four teams can end up on 12 points.

But even in that eventuality, the Kolkata outfit has a better chance because of a superior net run rate and ensure that even in defeat they do not go down by some massive margin. These are complicated scenarios and the best way to avoid it is to win against the Royals and be in a safer place.
