First, because Rikki is a mongoose. And mongooses fight snakes. Second, Rikki knows the snakes plan to kill the people, and Rikki likes the people.
Rikki-tikki fights 3 snakes, a Karait and two cobras Nag & Nagaina
In Rudyard Kipling's "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," Rikki, the mongoose, primarily fights against the cobras Nag and Nagaina. These snakes pose a threat to his human family in their garden, prompting Rikki to defend them. His battles with Nag and Nagaina showcase his bravery and determination to protect his home.
There are two passages early in the story that establish that mongooses in general are natural enemies of snakes. The first is by Teddy's father (speaking of Rikki-Tikki) "Teddy's safer with that little beast than if he had a bloodhound to watch him. If a snake came into the nursery now --- '' and the second is from Rikki-Tikki's initial meeting with Nag "and he knew that all a grown mongoose's business in life was to fight and eat snakes"

Rikki-tikki-tavi, a short story written by Rudyard Kipling tells the story of the mongoose Rikki-tikki and his battles to protect his adopted family.

The denouement begins when Rikki-tikki gives Nagaina a "Hobson's choice" to choose either to satisfy her revenge or to save her last egg. She chooses to try and escape with the egg. Rikki-tikki pursues her into her underground lair & in the ensuing battle her kills her & destroys the last egg.
In "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," Kipling incorporates several scientific facts, including the behavior of snakes, such as the way cobras defend their territory and their method of striking. He also highlights the concept of territoriality in animals, as seen in Rikki's interactions with the cobras and other creatures. Additionally, the story illustrates the natural instincts and survival strategies of a mongoose, particularly its ability to fight and kill snakes due to its agility and quick reflexes.
