KOL vs RR Dream11 Team Tips | KKR vs RR Prediction Grand League, 1 November

KOL vs RR Dream 11 Team: The Match 53 of the Indian Premier League 2020 will witness Kolkata Knight Riders against Rajasthan Royals. One of the most important stages in the tournament has arrived, where the 4th spot for the play-offs will be decided. The Kolkata team has seen all the ups and downs in the tournament, and surely has not been consistent with their batting performances. In the last match, they got off to a good start with Rana and Gill providing a good platform for the team. Then, the selection of batting order has been bad by the team, with Narine and Rinku being dismissed for a low score. At the death, Morgan and Karthik tried their best to put up a good total on the board which was not enough for the opposition team.

On the other side, the Rajasthan side has shown good momentum in the last few matches. Their confidence lies with the fact that two Englishmen, Jofra and Stokes are in a good form. The players like Jos Buttler and Smith would surely look to continue the same momentum in the upcoming games. While the trio of Uthappa-Samson- Tewatia has been giving significant contributions to the side.
