IPL 2024: Home Favorites RCB, the league’s underdog, will be up against the heat KKR

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) endured their moment vanquish by the barest of edges against Rajasthan Royals (RR) and will trust to get back to winning ways when they take on Illustrious Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Eden Gardens in the Indian Head Alliance (IPL) 2024 on Sunday.

Faf du Plessis and Co. have been on a descending winding, having misplaced their final five recreations, a run that began with a battering from the KKR at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in March.

RCB will trust that they can turn their fortunes around against the Knights in Purple and Gold, with the guests set to wear the green shirt for the evening fixture.

KKR and RCB have faced off in 33 matches so far. KKR has won 19 times, and RCB has come out triumphant on 14 occasions.

In their final five experiences, KKR once again have an overwhelming record, winning four out of the five matches against RCB.

KKR Group News
Either of the two openers—Philip Salt or Sunil Narine—has proceeded to press for KKR so far this season. Their cudgelling begins at the best of the arrange, which implies the rest of the KKR batting line-up has been overseen to construct on it and heap on the runs. Be it Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s skilled hitting or Shreyas Iyer’s calmness in the centre, KKR appears to have split the code. In addition to that, the control from the likes of Venkatesh Iyer, Ramandeep Singh, Rinku Singh, and Andre Russell ensures a solid wrap-up.

Mitchell Starc, along with Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana, have gone for runs but have scalped wickets as well. The cunning and precision of Narine and Varun Chakravarthy have given KKR control over the ball.

The late-to-end overs have spilt runs, be it the spinners or the pacers for KKR, something the think tank of tutor Gautam Gambhir, head coach Chandrakant Pandit, and bowling coach Bharat Arun will need to address.

RCB Group News
RCB has been dreary all through the season, so distant. Their players have scored runs but not enough to win recreations, and their bowlers have taken wickets but spilt more runs. In reality, RCB has made the most changes to their side than most, and with half the competition as of now done and cleaned, they are yet to discover their winning eleven.

Virat Kohli is driving the race for the Orange Cap with 361 runs from seven recreations at a normal of 72.2 and a strike rate of 147.35. The rest of the players—counting Faf, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Will Jacks, Cameron Green, Rajat Patidar, Saurav Chauhan, and Anuj Rawat—have not been steady. As it were, Dinesh Karthik, the previous KKR captain, has looked tried and true to give RCB a solid wrap-up with the bat.

Yash Dayal, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Reece Topley, Mohammed Siraj, Alzarri Joseph, and Lockie Ferguson have all gone for runs and have not taken sufficient wickets.

Maxwell’s support is questionable, and Siraj is being rested once in a while to oversee his workload. as it was steady for RCB but appears to be changing.

KKR vs. RCB Pitch Report
The heatwave washing over the City of Delight has sapped the vitality of most in the past few days. With temperatures reaching as high as 42 degrees, stickiness has compounded things. A day diversion in such conditions with insignificant dew will without a doubt pose a problem for the captain winning the hurl.
