Rajasthan Royals won by 6 wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2021. Chris Morris' four-wicket burst in the death overs and skipper Sanju Samson's measured innings gave Rajasthan Royals a much-needed win over Kolkata Knight Riders. Royals pacers, who were smart with their change of pace, restricted KKR to 133 for nine after Samson opted to bowl first. Royals lost their openers, Jos Buttler for 5 and Yashasvi Jaiswal for 22, in the powerplay but they never lost control of the chase and got over the line in 18.5 overs for their second win in five matches. Earlier, KKR were not able to find rhythm in their underwhelming innings. KKR's troubles worsened after Morgan was run out without facing a ball following a bad mix-up with Rahul Tripathi. For KKR, it was their fourth loss in five matches.
