The RCB vs KKR IPL 2024 match will be played on Friday, March 29 in Bengaluru. The match starts at 7.30 pm IST. It is Kolkata Knight Riders’ second game and Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s third of the campaign.
KKR vs RCB is one of the most anticipated rivalries in the IPL. The two teams have played 32 games. Of these 32 matches, Bengaluru won 14 while Kolkata emerged victorious on 18 occasions. KKR won both games last year and has a 3-2 record in the last five games.
RCB lost the first match of the season against CSK and came back strongly in their next match against Punjab Kings. Virat Kohli’s 77 anchored the run chase as Dinesh Karthik (28 off 10) and Mahipal Lomror (17 off 8) took the team home.
RCB’s bowlers did a decent job on the Chinnaswamy wicket as the total of 176 was at par on that wicket. The Chinnaswamy Stadium is the biggest six-hit ground in the IPL and the RCB players did a good job of not conceding more than 200.
KKR almost lost their season opener against SRH. Despite scoring more than 200 runs with the bat, his players almost gave away the runs. KKR’s million dollar man Mitchell Starc gave away 51 runs in his first outing for the Knight Riders. In the end, it was Harshit Rana who defended 13 overs as KKR prevailed by four wickets.
KKR opened once again with Sunil Narine when the move failed. However, the Windies spinner was as economical with the ball as ever, giving away just 19 runs of his spell and picking up one wicket. Going into the next game, KKR needs to sort out their opening combination. Gautam Gambhir, as the team’s mentor, should think about promoting a long-term combination of openness.
The Knight Riders used 12 opening combinations in the last two seasons and lost almost 60 wickets within the powerplay. Phil Salt is the designated opener and Venkatesh Iyer seems to be the best option to open the batting. The middle order of Shreyas Iyer, Niotish Rana, Rinku Singh, Ramandee Singh and Andre Russell looks deadly and needs to continue their batting prowess in the middle.
