IPL 2019: Match 21, RR vs KKR – Predicted top performer based on stats and records for Fantasy Cricket

The Rajasthan Royals (RR) lost three matches on the trot to start their campaign in the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, the team, captained by Ajinkya Rahane, made an impressive comeback and defeated the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their previous match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. However, despite the win, they are languishing in the bottom half of the points table.

In the game, their bowlers did reasonably after which the top order took the Royals to a much-needed victory. Their next match is against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Jaipur itself and RR would want back-to-back wins under their belt and the task to overhaul KKR won’t be easy. The Knight Riders emerged victorious in three of their four encounters and are looking ominous as ever.

And all their victories came courtesy of a batting powerhouse named Andre Russell and he is one player the Royals can’t afford to let off the hook by any stretch of the imagination. Apart from his impressive form of late, the Jamaican all-rounder has done well in the past against the Royals as well.

Record against the opposition (RR):

105 runs in 5 T20 innings at an average of 35

5 wickets in 16 overs at an average of 25

Record at the venue (Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur):

Played only one match at this venue – Didn’t bat, didn’t bowl
