After losing the match against MI, KKR will be determined to win this match to stop the table-toppers, RCB, who are yet to taste defeat in IPL 2021.

KKR’s batting collapsed during the run chase against MI, and they would probably be eager to put up a strong batting performance. Meanwhile, RCB has one of the most explosive batting lineups, with Kohli, de Villiers and Maxwell in the team.
