The Eliminator of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 has the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) taking on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on Monday.
The Kolkata Knight Riders are back in the IPL playoffs after a two-year hiatus and will be hell-bent on making it count. They have been one of the more impressive teams in the UAE leg despite their injury concerns. They face a strong Royal Challengers Bangalore side who will be looking to avoid another Eliminator exit in the IPL. Led by Virat Kohli, RCB will start the game as the clear favorites, but they will be wary of what the Knight Riders are capable of doing, making for a great contest in Sharjah.

Pitch Report
Although the pitch is on the slower side in Sharjah, the previous game at the venue saw more than 400 runs being scored. The pacers aren't likely to get much swing early on, something which the batters will look to make full use of in the powerplay overs. As the game progresses, the spinners will come into play, making for a good contest in the middle overs. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams looking to bat first upon winning the toss.
Today's RCB vs KKR Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper
KS Bharat: KS Bharat comes into the game on the back of a stunning knock against the Delhi Capitals (DC), including a last-ball six to hand his side the win. He has grown in stature over the last few weeks and should ideally get the nod over Dinesh Karthik, who is expected to bat lower down the order for KKR.
Batsman
Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill has blown hot and cold this season, but he has found some form coming into the IPL playoffs. Gill is one of the better players of spin on the Indian circuit, which should hold him in good stead and earn him a place in your RCB vs KKR Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Glenn Maxwell: Glenn Maxwell has been Royal Challengers Bangalore's best player this season with six fifties and a few wickets to his name. His batting prowess has served RCB well in the middle overs and he should be a must-have in your RCB vs KKR Dream11 fantasy team, given his elite form.
Bowler
Varun Chakravarthy: Varun Chakravarthy has been KKR's best bowler this season with his variations ruling the roost in the middle overs. With the pitch likely to favor the spinners, Chakravarthy is bound to have a say in the outcome of this high-octane clash.
