RR vs KKR Head-to-Head: The Sportsrush presents before you the Head-to-Head statistics for 21st match of IPL 2019.

The 21st match of the ongoing 12th season of the Indian Premier League will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders at Jaipur. With both teams coming on the back of individual victories, one expects an intriguing contest tomorrow.

There is no hiding to the fact that the biggest concern for Rajasthan Royals will be Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Andre Russell. Given the manner in which the 30-year old cricketer has played, putting breaks to his acceleration will be the challenge of the season for Royals’ bowling unit.

Despite Russell’s recent heroics, KKR would also be vary of their death overs bowling and the form of their batsmen. If Rajasthan manage to bank upon the same, they might stand a chance to register their second IPL 2019 win.
