Why RCB vs KKR Clash Is Termed ‘El Primero’ of IPL?

One of the most anticipated matchups of the 2024 IPL would pit the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Will Yash Dayal make up for his five sixes in the previous over against Rinku Singh? Or Mohammed Siraj against Phil Salt, or Mitchell Starc against Glenn Maxwell and Virat Kohli? Or perhaps the most significant of them, Virat Kohli versus Gautam Gambhir?

Even while Gambhir wasn’t with KKR, the two collided as the former India opener supported his player Naveen ul Haq in his role as mentor of the Lucknow Super Giants last year. The two well-known Indian cricketers have faced one other three times.

It all began with this very match 16 years ago, as Knight Riders player Brendon McCullum crushed the Men in Red by 158* in the tournament’s inaugural match in 2008. The match was ultimately won by the two-time winners by an overwhelming 140 runs. The competition was going to light up and transform Indian cricket and T20 cricket for all time, and that knock and match set the tone.
