Eden Gardens is all set to host the KKR vs RCB IPL 2024 match on Sunday, April 21. This is KKR’s third consecutive home match. Furthermore, this is the reverse match between the two sides.
KKR lost their previous match against Rajasthan Royals at Eden Gardens. Sunil Narine’s first IPL ton was surpassed by Jos Buttler’s brilliant ton as KKR had to endure a heartbreaking defeat. A score of 223 was not enough that day for the Knight Riders.
RCB, on the other hand, has bigger problems. They head into this game after their previous loss to SRH where they conceded 287 runs by bowling first.
That remains the most runs scored in the first innings of an IPL game. A total of 549 runs were scored in that game, which is a T20 record.

RCB’s bowling is still their problem. The hitters have improved in almost every game. Either the score was not defended or they were asked to chase much more than they would have ideally liked. Bowling concerns have led to selection conundrums within the team without any bowlers of serious repute.
KKR would love to win again after the narrow loss against RR. They still occupy second place in the points table and would like to maintain that position. RCB, on the other hand, are in last place.
