KKR vs RCB Probable Playing 11
KKR vs RCB Probable Playing 11: Kolkata Knight Riders have been one of the most successful with four victories out of six matches they played in the 2024 campaign so far. Kolkata lost their last match against table toppers Rajasthan played on April 16.
Kolkata Knight Riders won the matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants. Sunil Narine has been impressive with bat for KKR smashing 276 runs while Vaibhav Arora has picked seven wickets in four matches he played for the side.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore had a poor start and has been running an unsuccessful campaign with only one victory out of seven matches they played.
“The belief is there. If there is no belief, there is no point playing in a tournament like the IPL. Every year, there have been teams at this stage, trying to find their feet, but haven’t had a great tournament. But there have been so many instances where they have picked up and won matches. We believe that if we can do something special, there have been a few matches, where we can get the momentum and use that to our advantage,” said Dinesh Karthik.
“In the last match, we didn’t bowl well in the death overs. But before that, against LSG, we had done well. We had done our planning well, but need to improve on our execution. If we do that, we will get better [in the death overs],” said Vaibhav Arora.
Currently, Kolkata Knight Riders have secured the third position while Royal Challengers Bangalore has secured the bottom position in the IPL 2024 points table.
