Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders Team Preview
Royal Challengers Bangalore
After losing two of their three games, Royal Challengers Bangalore responded with two straight victories. The previously mentioned squad defeated the star-studded Rajasthan Royals by 7 runs to get 8 points. Furthermore, RCB has played 7 games in the competition so far and is now in the middle of the pack.
Vyshak Vijaykumar let up 24 runs in two overs, which is enough for Harshal Patel to rule him out of the starting XI. On the other hand, Anuj Rawat could take Mahipal Lomror’s place in the batting order when the former scored 8 runs in 6 balls.
Kolkata Knight Riders
The Kolkata Knight Riders are presently on a four-game losing streak, with their most recent defeat coming by 49 runs to the Chennai Super Kings. KKR has only won two games so far and is now on four points, placing them among the lowest three teams.
Nitish Rana’s starting XI for Match 36 will almost certainly alter, since they are currently on a four-game losing streak. Sunil Narine, Narayan Jagadeesan, and David Wiese are among the most likely exclusions from the lineup. This could indicate that two of these three key players – Venkatesh Iyer, Lockie Ferguson, and Shardul Thakur – would be included.
