Combat will be held from 7 pm

Bengaluru. The Indian Premier League (IPL) matches start again from Saturday. It will collide between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the first match. In this match, RCB is considered a strong contender for victory as his performance has been very good in this season. His batsmen and bowlers are in rhythm, which will also benefit him. RCB is in second place in the points table with 16 points in 11 matches and will win the match and make it to the playoffs. On the other hand, the defending winner KKR has 11 points in 12 matches and is in sixth place and in such a situation, if she loses this match or it is canceled due to rain, then it will be out of the playoffs.

RCB veteran batsman Virat Kohli will also be eyeing everyone in this match. Virat said goodbye to Test cricket this week. Virat has scored more than 500 runs while batting quite well before the postponement of this season on 9 May and he is a strong contender for Orange Cap. In such a situation, fans would like him to bat well in this match too. KKR’s team will enter the match with two consecutive wins. In such a situation, his goal will be to maintain this connection. If you look at both teams, then there is more likely to win Aiybi. The RCB management has breathed a sigh of relief due to the fit of Rajat Patidar, the first captain of this match.

Most of RCB foreign players have also joined him. Although players like Phil Salat, Lungi Enggidi, Tim David, Liam Livingstone and Romario Shepherd are available for the team. Devdutt Padikkal and fast bowler Josh Hazlewood have been shocked by being out due to injury.

RCB has replaced Mayank Agarwal in place of Padikkal. At the same time, in the match, however, everyone’s eyes will be on Kohli. In the stadium too, the audience would like to see him playing. In this match, Virat’s fans will be seen in the white jersey of Test instead of RCB. On the other hand, the path of KKR is very difficult. Captain Azinkya Rahane’s team has appeared weak in batting and bowling. Apart from captain Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi, the batsman has not been able to score continuously in the session. For the team, this match is on or on the other hand, so all its players will have to perform their best. Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell and Rinku Singh have failed so far and now they will have to score runs in this match. The team will miss Moin Ali. Moeen is out of the league due to sickness.
