Nitish Rana-led Kolkata Knight Riders fell to Punjab Kings by 7 runs in their first rain-affected league match. Shreyas Iyer, the team’s captain in the previous season, will undergo surgery abroad for a lower back injury, so this IPL He left the series. Players like Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al-Hasan and Liton Das are yet to join the team. This is seen as a huge setback for the Kolkata team.
Varun Chakraborty (4-0-26-1), who struggled to take wickets last season, is doing well in place of Umesh Yadav. In the batting line-up, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Ringu Singh should put up a good performance together. Lockie Ferguson is likely to replace Tim Southee in the squad.
Bob du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated five-time champions Mumbai Indians by 8 wickets in their first league match. Captain Du Plessis and former captain Virat Kohli put up a quality performance. Siraj shone as usual with the bowling. If foreign players like Glenn Maxwell and Michael Bracewell swing the bat aggressively, it will be difficult to beat Bengaluru.
Already plagued by injury problems, Kolkata face Bengaluru at home. Hopefully that will give the team strength. On the other hand, Bengaluru will go into the field with the motivation of winning the opening match. Will its dominance continue in today’s game? It will be interesting to see.
